I turned this just recently from a tall larger Trembling Aspen tree that had just died after last summer, had my BIL give me a hand by letting him pull on a rope I had tied to the tree as high as I could get it, that way it fell neatly where it didn’t do much damage and where I could get at it easily as well, normally I have to do this myself after the tree starts to fall, not as easy and I have to be quick

Anyway the tree was cut into firewood lengths, but the lower part pieces where too heavy for me to lift, so I sawed all of them in two halves, from one of those pieces have I turned this bowl.

The rim is about 3/16 “ and thinner just below the rim, I have to admit it isn’t the prettiest wood around, but when light strikes it and passes through it, the translucence does give it a bit more appeal, ................... I think
