Jatoba bowl

[Lee DeRaud]

Got all excited about turning a new kind of wood: "azucar huayo". Then I looked it up and found out it's the same thing as jatoba. :p About 5"x3"

AKA Brazilian cherry. Actually this piece has more grain than most pieces I have seen. Looks nice!

Azucar Huayo is the name in Peru for Brazilian Cherry / Jatoba. The name means sweet fruit. Monkeys love it. Here is a link, click on this,

Looks nice Lee. Has some different marking from the Jatoba I have seen in the past. Nice work.

Pretty nifty, Lee. Interesting wood, and nice form. How thick are the edges of that bowl?

[Barry Stratton]

Thats some nice looking Jatoba Lee! Stuff makes me sneeze like a banshee........but I cut it anyway. Well done.

[Vaughn McMillan]

Nice stuff, Lee. To echo Big Mike, that seems to have more prominent grain than the jatoba I've used. What'd you finish it with?
