Box Elder 6 1/2 X 3 1/2. This piece is bleached as I read in a post that the bleaching of Box Elder does not affect the red stain. This piece had a little red at the bottom and the bleach did not affect it. A lot of bug holes on one side and a little spaulting. Comments and critiques welcome.

Pretty little bowl Bill. What did you use as a bleaching agent?

That's just beautiful. Nice form and I like how Mother Nature worked with you.

Beautiful!!

(BTW, the red will fade in time on it's own, but it's nice to know that the bleach didn't remove it)

Nice piece Bill, the bug holes are great added attraction for sure.

Hey, your really on a roll here!!!! This one has to be my favorite. Almost looks like ivory or bone or something. This is a really cool turning!
