Spalted Maple Bowl

 Here is yet another spalted Maple wood bowl. This is from a tree that was in my backyard. I've several more bowl blanks of this wood, so you'll be seeing more of these bowls in the coming year. This one measures 2.5 inches high and 8 inches in diameter. It was wet sanded with mineral oil up to 400 grit sandpaper. The bowl was then burnished with its own shavings to polish it. This one has a knot in the bottom of the bowl, with some nice figuring in the grain around the dense knot wood. More photos below.
