I corded a large half log of ambrosia maple for a friend. His lathe couldn’t turn the largest blank so he kept to two smaller bowls and gave me the larger one. The wood came from Nortern Alabama. It was a little softer than silver maple found in the Chicago area, but turned well and was easy to sand. It is 16” in diameter and about 5” deep. The depth is about 5”. It has two coats of wipe on poly mixed with danish oil.
