The first bowl is a piece of coloured maple, I knew it would be a challenge to get something out of it due to the shape and bark inclusions, and it very nearly ended up on the firewood pile ! Decided to go with it though as the figure and colouring was really nice, and just accept the hole and inclusions as just some more features !
The next is some olive ash, unfortunately when I cut the blank about twenty years ago I didn't manage to centre the coloured heartwood, but still turned out nice
Then another walnut bowl and lastly ash again.
All treated with tung oil so can be used for food, salads, fruit etc, although the holey one might be a challenge for some stuff !
