Ambrosia Maple Bowl:



Made for a friend who gave me this blank plus about 5 more when he was cutting some trees down on his dad's property for firewood. Much better fate than firewood, I think.

Spalted maple Bowl:



Havested ~3 years ago when a neighbors tree blew down. Came away with 3 logs, that I intended to turn into tables. Never got around to it so once I started turning I dug out the logs which had been sitting in a storage room in the house. They were not spalted when i got them and the room is not wet at all. Terrible to cut, had to resort to 40grit powered gouge. Clogged alot of sandpaper on getting to only a reasonable finish.

thanks for looking.
