Hi All,
I had the urge to try making the zig zag pattern that I saw in a book on segmented bowl turning, so I used Easter as an excuse to have some fun. The eggs are maple, walnut and eucalyptus. The bowl is almond, taken from one of the last trees in the orchard that we removed last month as we are preparing it to be replanted with walnuts.

This is where the almond wood came from. It’s hard to watch the trees being removed when you have spent the past 30 years trying to keep them healthy and alive, but it’s time to prepare the orchard to be replanted, this time with walnuts. I saved a few pieces for turning, but with over 40,000 trees in the orchards, wood is never in short supply.
