    What wood type of wood is this?

    My niece wanted a small wood bowl so I told her I would make one. Finally got around to it . As you can tell Im not a wood turner or an accomplished photographer I was wondering what kind of wood do you guys think it is? Its medium density and a pleasure to turn. Its not really spectacular but neither is the bowl so they suit each other well.

    Number one, I think it's a good looking bowl. Number two, I agree that that is probably cherry.
