Thread: Wild Cherry Bowl

  1. #1

    Wild Cherry Bowl

    This came from a log in my neighbor's firewood pile that had "aged" in the hot Mojave Desert sun for several years. It was really dry and had a few cracks to deal with. About 6 1/2" x 2 1/4" with Watco finish. Critiques welcome.........Ron

    Ron you have given my favorite native wood a classic design, and a beautiful finish making this a bowl to be proud of.

    Very nice bowl Ron! I can only imagine how dry that piece had to be when turning - must be light as a feather! Really good looking wood!

    That's a lovely piece, Ron. The simple form really highlights the very nice material.

    Ron,

    Great work with that cherry. Don't you just love the smell when turning it? Nice form and finish.

    I gave the first one I made of this wood to the neighbor that gave the wood. It looks very similar.......Ron
