Some time back, a few might possibly remember I fished a small section of chestnut from a burn pile. It was charred pretty deep, 1/2". Have no way of telling if it is American Chestnut personally. Here is another bowl from it.

Beautiful Jeremy!!! Contrary to my usual thought...this onecould have gone a bit thinner…not much, maybe an 1/8” or so. Looks cool as is…justmy opinion. What finish was used?

Great looking piece Jeremy. Nice color and grain and I kind of like utilitarian pieces like this, looks solid and hefty. It would make a great fruit bowl for the kitchen table.

Thanks. It does seem to have characteristics of several woods. Chinese or American, it's a decent turning wood. The finish is sanded to 220 and Mahooneys Walnut finish. I didn't buff this one, simply forgot to do it. It feels different, but not bad.
