I believe that God is the artist, and that I have been granted the amazing privilege of unveiling his work. This amazing coloring that I found inside a maple log illustrates that belief perfectly.
This will be the cremation urn for a friend, so there will be a lid for this (probably walnut).
9 inches tall, 7 inches diameter. Friction polish finish.
This bowl is the slightly bigger sibling of the previous one, coming from the opposite side of the log. Honey locust is heavy, dense wood, and can be a bit of a challenge to work with; I had to stop and resharpen my tools frequently on this one. But the end result is worth the effort.
It’s just a smidgen over 12 inches diameter, and stands 5 5/8 inches high. Walnut oil finish.

A large honey locust tree in our neighborhood blew down last summer, and the owners let me have a few pieces. This is one of the products.
