I thought i had posted the first crotch piece, but found out I hadn't. The one on the right was posted last week. She was suppose to give the left one to a lady friend, but said if I made a second one she would give her that one. She now has them both and the lady won't see either. They are from the same ash log and both turned to about 1/4". Measure about 15" across. Turned green, dried, and dyed brown to bring out the color, followed by black wax to fill the grain. Two coats of lacquer. Picture from her iPhone.

They look very nice. What are they? I can't tell from the picture if they are bowls, platters or just decorative pieces. I like 'em......................Tim.

They are ash, but applied dye and wax to enhance color and grain. She probably leave them on the stands. I.would say they are shallow bowls.

Beautiful Bob. Reminds me of a song "Amazing grain how sweet the site. A gift form tree to me". These are really nice.

Nice work , I learned about 6 years ago not to let on to the LOML what I was working on ... so I could sell it , well you know how that turned out eh ? So I got a dodge to show her while the real work was snuck out of the shop .. nope , didn't work , can't lie to SWMBO .....
