Two more bowls turned.

 

This bowl is from a piece of split fire wood from my neighbors wood pile. (click on the above image to see a larger version) I think it is a Pine of some sort but it's not as soft as one would expect from a Pine. This piece of wood has a bit of spalting, barely, adding some odd coloration. This bowl is roughly 6 inches in diameter and about 2.5 inches high. Finished with several coats of hand rubbed shellac and wax.

This little bowl is Cedar wood, about 1 inch high and about 2.5 inches diameter. This wood turned very well and polished up nicely. Finished with hand rubbed shellac and wax.
Living in California gives me access to so many kinds of woods. All kinds of stuff grows here and has been planted here from all parts of the globe. I want to try turning some Sycamore, and Eucalyptus, some of the California Oaks, and Manzanitas and Madrone woods. So many more...
