Got recently from my dear daughter a cut off piece of a branch of a walnut tree.
About 18cm in diam. and 25cm long.
Hey that's nice for making two oval shallow small bowls.
So I did cut it into two halves.
In the first I discovered after turning away the bark a perfect round hole, maybe a bullet hole, from the second world war, as it is a very old walnut tree, and in the 40's there were a heavy fighting in the ''Betuwe'' area.
It did disrupting my plan for a decent small bowl, and the end result after I did turning away the (bullit) hole was a bit strange looking small bowl :~
The second was a lot better :)
The axis sizes of both 205x170mm H 42mm
Here the pictures.
All the best, cheers, Ad
