A year and a half ago my neighbors had to have some trees cut down as the city came in and flaged them. I'm not sure if they're Ash or Elm. The home owner owner didn't know.
anyway I salvaged some of it and have had it sitting outside since then. This summer I cut up this one branch into this piece in the picture. I just scraped the bark off as I will be running it through my bandsaw to get a decent circle and I figured I would save myself by getting rid of the dirt in the bark. I'm going to try to get that branch portion to be the bottom of the bowl as I hoped it would be some pretty grain.
thoughts comments? Suggestions to someone who is cutting up their first log into a bowl blank probably only a five and a half inch circle.
I have turned a a few bowls, from round blanks given to me by my wood supplier. So I'm not entirely new to bowl making. I have the one way Talon chuck and expect to use the wormwood screw on it to start.
