Our area got hit with some impressive winds last summer when a "twister" almost touched down...... I helped some folks from church clean up their yard and got about 1 1/2 cords of firewood for my trouble. This bowl is turned from a piece of elm that the wife's father planted back in 1915 or so.............

8 1/2 x 3 1/4....sanded thru 800 on inside, wire brushed on outside. Walnut oil finish, no buff.

Russian Olive............this piece was REALLY checked bad, but got something out of it.
5 1/4 x 2 1/2 Walnut Oil finish.

Barry all of those are great! I really like the Olive bowl. Holy grain on that Elm! That looks crazy, in a good way. Seems like the grain is really tight and close together for Elm too :dunno: Looks really nice I like em all.
 
Put me down for the elm:thumb: Though the wallnut is impressive I can't help thinking it looks a bit like cow hide.

Nice to see some bowls with simple clean lines. Makes a pleasant change from arty ones and natural edge. These look good and useful at the same time
