    Art from the lathe

    If it doesn't hold soup, its art. If it does, its a bowl. These were made from a trimming that the tree butchers (utility company) left. It had been trimmed many times over the years and had a lot of interesting growth. It sat in the shop for 3 months because I didn't know how I was going to cut it. HA!!! Mother nature solved that problem by opening a nice crack. The wood is Ash. The first "art" had a rotten limb that blew up during turning. It is sanded to 600 and coated with Mylands. 7" dia 2" tall. The second is sanded to 600 then wet sanded with Watco Natural and re-oiled over the course of a week then beal buffed. 8" dia and 3" tall.
