This is from an ornamental fruitless mulberry tree that my brother had cut down. It is 6 inches by 1 inch, finished with EEE and shellawax.

Nicely done. Grain pattern is different from usual crotch sections. Enjoy the yellow now, because it will be getting darker very soon. I haven't heard of any way to keep the yellow of Mulberry except possibly keeping it in the dark.

Very nice, it looks like a large centipede in the middle.

Will be interesting to see how the color change effects it.

When my son bought a house a couple of years ago, he asked for a natural edge bowl as a house warming present from me, so I had some yellow mulberry on hand and he liked it. After two years in his living room, which gets plenty of light through the windows [the bowl is not sitting in direct sunlight] it is still nice and yellow..........

Thanks all. I do have a 2 year old bowl from a red mulberry tree that is now more of a cherry/orange color. I assume that this one will darken also.

You did one fine job with that Mulberry! I have never turned Mulberry but a friend turns it a lot.

I love the yellow color of mulberry, and that's a nice bowl form. Some of the first pieces I turned were mulberry and I did a simple DO and hand-buffed wax finish. The color has 'matured' nicely to a medium brown. The first pic was taken June 2nd of last year. The other one just now.
