Thought I'd post these two bowls that I'm pleased with the way they turned out... the first is from a board of Spalted Maple that I had in the workshop. Wasn't doing anything with it so decided to make a small bowl from a board...it's about 4" high and 6" across..... The second is a piece from a Black Walnut tree from a 200 year old farm just outside of town... don't know if the tree was that old but it sure was big enough to be. When they had to cut it down they gave me a few pieces and they have been sitting in the garage for about 10 years so last summer I decided to turn one and am happy that there was no splits or checks even with the pith you can see at the top. It's about 7" high and 12" across....thanks for looking....
