Mulberry Crotch Dish

[Toby Bouder]

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.

Very nice, love the color and the grain.

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.

[Steve Doerr]

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

[Steve Huffman]

Wow, beautiful color and grain on this, and a great looking bowl as well.

[Brian Myers]

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..........

[Thom Sturgill]

Nice Job Toby. Love that color and you captured the flame well.

[Doug Herzberg]

Beautiful. Good job positioning the grain.

[Toby Bouder]

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.

[Sid Matheny]

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.
