Size: 3 1/2" H x 8" W
Description: This bowl defines wood character and has so many interesting burls, knots, rotten places, bug holds, voids, and grain patterns, that it would make a better strainer than a bowl.

It was turned from a piece of very old maple stump in early '06. Finished in natural oil, this piece begs to be held, studied and rubbed (not for little children).

Wood ID: Redwood Driftwood 27B
Size: 2 1/2"H x 8 1/2" W
Description: This beautiful bowl was cut from a grey piece of driftwood found on the Oregon Coast in August '06. I made three pieces from the one larger piece of driftwood and they would make a beautiful set (see above and below). Normally any conifer, even redwood, is not a good wood for turning since they tend to be mushy and don't finish well. However, with the obviously long duration this wood floated in the salty sea, the wood became hard and stable, and the grain is very beautiful. This is the largest of the three pieces, and has much of the original look of driftwood on the large outer voids (one is partially shown at the lower right) and bottom. Left very thick in the base and lower sides. Finished with natural oil.
