Love this wood

Pete MoncrieffJury · Nov 11, 2010

I was given a large portion of acia some time ago. I said thank you and took it mainly because I am a skinflint and rarely turn down free wood but boy am I glad I did. I have turned a few bowls from it now and every ion has been beautiful. ( the wood, not the turning) this is the latest. It's 9" dia and 4" deep. A few natural inclusions and bits of bark but it has such lovely markings and colours. This one is turned round bottom.

Pete, that has some real nice color to it. So what do you do with your bowls? Do you sell them or do you set them all over your house?

I can see why you're fond of that wood. It's great-looking stuff. Fine job on the bowl, too. :thumb:

Thanks all, it is gorgeous wood. I have a big part of the trunk left but need to sort the chainsaw out. It kills the blades and I have a load of sharpening to do before I can tackle it. Hopefully I should get a couple of decent sized bowls out of it as wll as some smaller ones.
