but I did find some purple branches at the dump. The heartwood of the larger branches looks reddish and the bark is papery. Any ideas what it is?
This is one of the smaller branches.

I was going to try turning a flower but the branch had a bend in it so I thought I might try a mushroom but the branch was oval so I decided to turn convex and concave curves to have some surfaces to practice on with my new scrapers. I think I'm getting the hang of them! Sure was fun and I think the wood looks nice too.

Heat wave today - forty degrees or so - I just might get some shop time in!
