Well finally have a wood gloat. Coming home from work tonight a gentleman I knew was trimming a maple tree. He called it silver maple. Anyway got 3 logs and a half log. Ended up with 13 bowl blanks and a couple of them are crotch piieces. Already have them cut into blanks and can't wait to tear into these.

Thanks. Yep Stu I just about fell over when I saw the wood. We just don't have many maples around here. I am excited to get started. Gouges were sharpened last night. Ready to rock and roll tomorrow.

Well!.... it's been two days and we haven't seen a bowl yet. :D:D

That's a great haul Bernie.. congratulations. Can't wait to see your work.
