This came from a stump that had sat on a breakwater near town for some years. The red color is unique for hemlock and may be from prolonged exposure to saltwater.
The rough bowl took a year to dry. Lots and lots of fine cuts with a freshly sharpened 3/8" gouge to cut clean enough to begin a lot of sanding.
Bowl measures 10 1/2" X 4 3/4"
Very nice. I only have soft wood around me, but just been turning kiln dried till get good enough with tool slicing to tackle Douglas fir and juniper. You really do nice work. I admire your talents.
@Glenn Lefley Thanks Glen. Doug fir is a beast! Look for stump wood or very tight rings to reduce tear out potential. Juniper is amazing, but ultra toxic.
@Glenn Lefley Juniper has natural compounds in it that according to wood scientists, it shouldn't even be used for food, so the dust is just horrible to breath. It's up there with some of the crazier tropical hardwoods. Many of the rot resistant woods are in that category.
