Here's a 7 inch diameter Ash bowl, a little over 3 inches high. Nice chunk of wood. Beautiful grain. I gave this to the fellow down the street who's tree this came from. It's a thank-you for giving me some of that wood from his Ash tree.

Liquid-Amber Bowl
This is a 5.5 inch diameter by 1.75 inch high Liquid-Amber wood bowl. It was turned while green, and sanded after drying. I was trying out some new color stains, and since this wood is very light colored, I thought I'd use it as a test. Often, as in this case, (before staining) I flattened the base so the bowl sits flat on this surface.

Live Edge Liquid-amber Bowls
These are 6 and 7 inch bowls turned from green Liquid-amber tree wood (a lot like Maple). I expect them to warp and I'm OK with that. You can't sand the wood when it's green. When it was dry, I hand sanded them. No finish on these. The wood is almost white now but I expect it to turn a honey amber color with age.

This is a 4 inch long Ironwood Eucalyptus scoop. This is my first attempt at scoops. This is turned on a lathe but the curved cut-away is shaped with a belt sander.

Live Edge Ash Wood Bowl
This is a 6 inch diameter Ash wood bowl. Live edge means the bark is left on. A neighbor down the street cut down an Ash tree in his yard. I offered to help him cut it up if I could have a few pieces of wood.
