Here is a couple of bowls that I turned yesterday, first is end grain Ash, 6" dia 2 1/2" high with a 3/16" thick wall. Not a pretty as the curly stuff though.
The second one is spalted Catalpa that was a real bear to turn, a lot of tearout on the end grain sides.Wall thickness on this one is 1/4".

Very nice! I'm not sure I'd recognize a Catalpa tree if it fell on me. :o - but I like the wood.

They both look great! I really like the form on the second one. It flows really nicely.

Yea, you might...REALLY big leaves!! (And big, long seed pods at the right time of the year)

Nice work, Charles.

Nice bowls Charles! I haven't seen a Catalpa tree since I was in HS and hunting doves...
