You use the wood for turning! Ok, so I can't say for sure that it's lemon wood, but it is citrus wood.
I've passed up so much citrus wood before because it always looked so bland. Wish I would have tried it earlier, but at least it's something that comes available pretty often.
It cuts very nice, has very tight grain and sands up great.
This is just a simple closed bowl form. The finish is just a coat of sanding sealer. Oil would have changed the color and I wanted the yellow to stay yellow. The little spots in the bottom of the bowl are just very small bark inclusions, they give a little bit of added character.
It's about 9" x 4".
