Buckeye wood bowl

Another of my favorite woods. It is seldom found locally. In one piece colors vary from black to almost white. It often has defects as this bowl shows--a hole in the bottom. I believe some types of defects add to the personality of the wood.

Carob bowl
















One of my favorite woods is carob. It has beautiful grain patterns and the heart wood is bright red while the sap wood is white. Makes for some beautiful bowls. It is a native wood.

Myrtle Bowl


Turning bowls is a way of relaxation. I enjoy working with all kinds of wood. This bowl is a myrtle wood that came from Oregon.
