second and third bowl, no clue about the wood

[paul ashman]

We have a Habitat for Humanity store nearby, builders from all around donate leftovers. Sinks, cabinets, windows....you name it. The other day I found piles of hardwood, neatly wrapped with names and dates. Some were shaped, but most were just small blocks. I suspect they are samples, but I got them for almost nothing. Took them home and just started to play. As I said, I have no clue as to the wood. The finish is just BLO and buffing.
Wow, what fun, more to come.

Nice job on the bowls Paul. The big bowl looks like Mahogany.

Very nice looking pieces, the wood looks good to me.

Congrats on finding another source of wood! Both of your bowls look pretty good to me!

[Keith Burns]

Slick looking bowls Paul !! Well executed !!

[Don Orr]

Nice work Paul, sorry I can't help with the wood. (The smaller one looks like Walnut-maybe). HFH is opening a store in our area. Guess I better check them out!

[Mike A. Smith]

Very nice Paul! They look much better than my 2nd or 3rd!

[Pete Jordan]

Great shapes and finish Paul! They turned out wonderful.

[Ron Chamberlin]

Nice looking bowls. Wood looks a little light in color for walnut, perhaps butternut?

Paul, it just goes to show you can find a treasure almost anywhere. I love the finish on these. Great job!:)
