I'm starting to turn again after an accident and a year in a nursing home. I have two pieces made from woods that I would like to identify. The bowl is from a huge tree on a residential street in northeast Ohio. It was posted on Craigslist as firewood. This is a core from the single large piece that I was able to get into my truck. When I cored and rough turned the pieces there was some red staining in the wood that I thought might be box elder. It's now almost 2 years later and the red is gone.
The ice cream scoop came from a piece in my box of scraps. I have no idea when or where I got it.
I find that people often ask "What kind of wood is that?" when I give wooden items away. Any help would be appreciated.Ice Cream Scoop.jpgBowl2.jpg
