Thanks for letting me join. I retired last year and have started turning. I’m looking forward to attending the Symposium this year and learning a few more tips and tricks. I have a small space in my garage for turning and have filled up my space very quickly.

Jim, Welcome to the forums! Please let us know if you need anything.

Welcome to the forum. I like the shape to that bowl which appears to be Bow Doc. You might also want to find a local club as there is lots to learn at the meetings.

 

[Bob Vaughan]

Tat would be my guess as to species also. Maclura pomifera among other names.

 

[Alan Weinberg]

Welcome! Such a clean shop!

I have already joined the Milwaukee Area Wood Turners chapter and have really enjoyed the people and the meetings.

I was told it was Mulberry.

That tracks. Osage orange (aka bodark, et al) is a more intense orange.

I didn't know about Mulberry wood. Now I do. Thanks for that. Turns out that they both are very similar looking.
Mulberry may well age like Osage. Here's a timeline aging of Osage.
