Returned and finished this bowl just a few days ago, it is a bit more than 13” wide and 3 “ high.
It has a bit of spalting and a large flame swirl of stain going through it, large pieces of Elm other than Siberian Elm are getting scarce,, this came from a rather large and long 3 feet thick log that was cut down in a park in London.
Had a bit of a battle with some firewood cutters that also wanted a share of the log, as there were lots of other logs to cut up I wasn’t too happy, and I was sneakily glad when one ran his saw into a chunk of cement that had been put into a crotch to repair an bad spot there
Anyway it is quite nice wood, though not a very hard wood it cuts and sands and finishes well
All Comments welcome
