That is a good looking piece of poplar Bruce, and some nice work.

That is one "nasty" piece of wood. Sure makes purdy turnings don't it? Great job of holding it all together. 8)

I number all of my pieces and keep a record of them in a computer file which records what it is, measurements, etc etc. I store and label pictures by number. The number also contains in it (in a way at least I can read it), the approximate date of the turning. And if someone sees a piece on a website and is interested, the number uniquely identifies it.

Nice NE bowl Bruce. Is that wood spalted or just the color in the grain? Looks almost like aspen.

I've read that populus is a genus of trees which includes cottonwoods, poplars and aspen, all of which are sometimes termed "poplars". I think what you may know as aspen is what we refer to up here as poplar. And yes, it is a bit spalted.
