Hot off the lathe, first time I turned Sassafras and I liked it.

Good job keeping the bark on! It does smell nice, doesn't it?

Turned wet, I assume? It is beautiful.

Nice bowl, love the smell. I read somewhere a year or so ago that the dust is pretty toxic. What dust isn't.:(?

Really nice NE bowl, good size for most anything I'm thinking M & M's. The cambium layer in most of the Sassafras I've gotten here is very weak and the bark is very hard to keep on the bowl.I've turned hundreds of NE bowls with no problem but the Sassafras is a pain.
