    Default natural edge

    I picked this up some time ago along with a few others and to this day dont know what it is, its anybody's guess.
    A small natural edge bowl oiled with DO, maybe I will buff it a little when its dry, not sure.

    Beautiful piece! I call it Fog wood, found on ground.
    So much timber, so little time.

    Carving on that one would be a bit of a challenge Hughie?

    I think that carving on a piece that has the busy edge, and sharp change between darker bottom and light top and the burl figure would make it too busy.
    So much timber, so little time.

    First, GREAT PIECE, I long ago wore out my worship of boring pieces of wood turned on a lathe. Exciting to sand that kind of edge, Huh??

    And, it looks like Elm burl, but then I am across the ditch.... So wish there was some way for us to "swap" wood chunks....

    keep turning...

    Swapping is fairly easy as long as no bark, no worms holes I have done it several times. The only downfall is the cost for many its too much.
