    Moraine locust natural edge pix

    Here's one I have had drying for a month or so. About 6 1/2" wide by 4" tall.

    I'm not too sure about the form, but the wood sure is purdy!<img=http:><img=http:><img=http:><img=http:> <img=http:><img=http:><img=http:>

    Very nice natural edge bowl Joe. I like the contrast in the heartwood /sapwood and then the NE. Nice job.

    Joe, I actually like this form better than the more typical "wide mouth" NE forms...'just a personal preference. That's a nice piece of wood, too. Great job!

    I like it A LOT!!!! Beautiful how the grain spins down toward the center, just like an ABYSS. You should enter this in Raymond's "Au Naturele" contest.

    Joe, I have had the pleasure of turning a good bit of honey locust, but never any moraine locust. I never heard of it, but now I know what it looks like and I sure do like it. This is not only beautiful wood, but the NE you turned from it is exceptional. I see a few light patches on the top of the bark rim. I see this on mine from time to time and I take a magic marker pen brown or whatever as close to the bark color as I can find and touch up the bark that has been scraped or discolored in someway. I do this right before I add my spray lacquer. You might want to try this.

    Love the wood. You did a great job of bringing out the best in the blank.

    Joe great job! Looking down in that bowl makes you want to spin and get dizzy, that grain just sucks you in. Thanks for sharing!

    What's not to like?

    Mostly that you did it and not me.

    Well done.
