Eastern Red Cedar Bowl and Vase




Red Cedar!!  What can you say.  It has one of the more unique aromas that can be identified by almost anyone.  Its coloration is dazzling  and brilliant .  I am fortunate to have access to this wood on occasion.  I sometimes get the shavings and place them in bowls around my house.  These items (although finished) still have a hint of that glorious scent only red cedar can produce.  The bowl is 9.5 x 6.5 and the vase is 5.5 diameter by 6.75 inches tall.

Walnut Bowls from southeast Arkansas

Here in southeast Arkansas some woods such as oak, cypress, cedar, hickory, pecan, black gum, and chinaberry, among others, are easily attainable as by-products of new construction or weather related issues.   Other trees grow here but are not as readily available.  I am fortunate to have friends and neighbors who keep a "watchful eye" for wood that I can turn into bowls.  I recently was offered a less procurable tree and quickly jumped at the opportunity.  These are my first few attempts to try to show the beauty God created when he made the Walnut tree.
