I turned this Bowl from a piece of an ornamental tree which I thought was Magnolia,The bark was a match But after seeing pieces from other turners in magnolia, now i'm unsure, The wood came from Glastonbury CT. from one of our early winter storms.
The heartwood is dark brown with cream sapwood, the finish is salad bowl finish. Any Thoughts would be welcome.

Looks like Mimosa/Silk Tree to me. It makes me sneeze. Pretty light weight, but nice color.

The magnolia around here is light colored, nothing at all like that. The stuff that was given to me was a very light color with a gray green tinge to it.
