This bowl is Kou.

This next picture is of a Lignum vitae, this wood carves and sands very well.

The next bowl is Naio, a nice yellow wood that has a smell kind of like Sandalwood, that is how it got it's AKA name, false Sandalwood.

The next bowl is Olopua or Hawaiian Olive. This wood has a nice smell like the Mediterranean olive.

The next bowl is another Kou, this is actually a rare Hawaiian wood and was the wood of choice when the early Hawaiians made their bowls or as they would call them "umeki"

Thank you very much for posting those pictures ! The heartwood/sapwood colour difference on the Hau and the King wood is outstanding .

Great work! I don't make small bowls much but enjoy it when I do, and usually adding minute designs in them.
