Maple Bowl

This bowl is a small part of a few large bark slabs that were laying in the mud at a local backwoods saw mill waiting for the fire pile. This is what was underneath. I love those guys! It's spalted and figured maple, 13" dia.X 4" tall. The bottom is raised just a tad so the bowl doesn't sit flat. Finished with Tung Oil and Renaissance wax. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome, Don L.

Nice look. So much better than the fireplace. Now I need to find a source like that.

Live long, love lots, and turn fast.

Thanks Robert! I just found this saw mill in the Yellow Pages. Sometimes I buy a whole tree from him, sometimes I just get some free stuff he was going to have to burn anyway in HUGE fire where he burns his waste wood. I have to make him a bowl soon to say thanks.
