Not sure I've ever seen a cedar bowl that was that red without the yellow streaks. Very cool just the same. The flame figure is sure a bonus. Great job.
The finished to this one is like most of mine. Wipe down with mineral spirits and a coat of tung oil. This tree was multitrunked but measured 36" in girth.
I got several pieces without the sapwood or those punky pockets I have found in other cedar. I've got several more to finish. If anyone is interested in a piece, I can share a few for the price of a flatrate box.
