Box elder/Manitoba Maple Bowl

[Andrew Musgrave]

I started turning about 8 months ago, and this is my favorite bowl so far and the first one I've posted here. Box elder, known as Manitoba Maple around here, and just under 9 inches wide.

Very beautiful wood and a nice job of finishing, you should be proud of that one, for only turning 8 months you're doing a great job!

The bowl is a beauty as is the wood. Nice form.

Love the shape--and workmanship too. The wood is just a bonus.

Well, If that's box elder, where are the bugs? Beautiful thing to be made from such a disliked tree! Looks like stone.
