This unique Walnut
bowl has holes drilled around the upper section. Through these holes I have
laced red leather cord which brings out the beauty of the darker, almost
chocolate colored walnut. This bowl is
6.75 inches in diameter and is 2 inches tall.

This bowl has beautiful colors and grain of orange-brownish with the newer rings (closer to the bark) being yellow greenish, sometimes almost translucent. This bowl is 11.5 inches in diameter and stands 6.75 inches tall.

A Hidden Beauty-Chinaberry
The Chinaberry tree. It
is native to Asia, but has been planted in the United states for years as a shade
and ornamental tree. It has freely
escaped its cultivation and to some considered a nuisance tree. Chinaberry is the only tree in North America
that is in the Mahogany family. These
two bowls are about 5 inches in diameter.
They have been highlighted with a small torch which makes the beautiful
grain more vivid. At the right angle the
wood is almost translucent. I really
like to work with chinaberry as the results are very rewarding.

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.
