Last spring and summer we sawed up two large hard maples. I rough turned some sixty plus bowls. I think I may be half way through the pile. It great wood to turn and pretty stable. I think I've had one cracked and had to be discarded. My garage was like a kiln last summer (certainly not this year 45 by Lake Michigan today). Pretty similar to the others I've been posting. 15" x 4" with three coats of Formby's tung oil.

Very nice. I really like the lines on the inside of the bowl and the foot.
