Spalted maple burl bowl

[Jerry Ingraham]

Just finished this, it's a gift for my daughter. When I was turning it I had doubts whether it would hold together, it was almost punky. But it turned out ok with the help of a liberal dose of c/a glue. It's 10" x 2 1/4" with 5/32" walls.

I turned a bowl out of some pretty nasty (almost rotten) maple. Figuring it must surely be dry, I turned it. It did NOT hold its shape at all, but everyone who saw it loved it because of the grain. I would post a pic, but gave that bowl to the in-laws.
Yours looks a lot nicer than mine!

Nice looking bowl Jerry. You did a nice job on it.

[Henry C. Gernhardt, III]

That truly is a pretty bowl. I'm looking forward to finally getting a lathe so I can try my hand at some of these lovely forms...

[John Timberlake]

Love the bowl. Really worth all the CA and effort. What finish did you use? The color looks dark for maple and not your typical spalting pattern.
