I turned this from part of a split weathered post a friend gave me. It's split edges were left on the side of the bowl, and of course, the natural edge is the rim.
The wood looks to be a kind of Locust, but someone mentioned it could be Chestnut. I've never turned any Chestnut, so it seems...
This is a beautiful and unusually colored piece of black locust with sapwood. The yellow sapwood is not stained! The lid and foot are made of cherry that was tinted for more contrast.
Roughly 2.75"x9.5" ea
Blue = eucalyptus & bay, pink = eucalyptus & buckeye, orange = locust & pear
Just fun variations on my flower goblet idea.
2.75"x9.5", Pear & Honey Locust. Dyed and painted.
The foot & leaf stem is turned from pear while the flower was turned from honey locust then inserted. Carving done with rotary tools. Relieved grain achieved using 3M radial bristle wheels.
