    Default Maple bowl

    Some may remember the saga of the house re-stumping, well this maple bowl er... block of wood , was one of those that was under the jacks at the time. Turns out that it was a rather nice piece of Queensland maple. The bowl measures 290mm diameter and 65mm deep. Finished with three sprayed coats of lacquer. C and C welcome as always.

    Jim, love the chatoyance in the Qld Maple.

    If you have any of these blocks lying around looking for a home, I'll house them

    Actually TL, this was the off cut from the piece that will go to AWTEX in Melbourne.
