#1 | | First Finished Bowl! Name: Bill City: Raleigh State: NC County: Wake Join Date: Feb 2007  07-28-2009, 10:15 PM
A few weeks back I posted pictures of the first bowl I had turned since I was kid and it came apart in the process. So I thought I should post pictures of my first successful bowl! Anyone have any idea what kind of wood the bowl is made of?
Thanks,
Bill | | Views: 220 | |

Is that color the natural color of the wood?
If so, I'm leaning towards Poplar.
It's the only white wood I know of that shows a greenish cast when dry.
You usually don't see that kind of standout grain in Poplar, but then again, wood does wonderful things sometimes!

Bill, it saddens me to see yet another person fall to the Dark Side, but I gotta say, that's a very nice bowl, with great proportions. Grain comes out beautifully.
As to what it's made of....eh...WOOD!

Thanks for all the kind words. The finish is just wax and the color of the wood is fairly close to the picture. I know the bowl is not poplar or ash. The problem is I have no idea what it really is!!! It was written on the blank and I forgot to write it down, I think it said peruvian something..maybe pecan...time for me to break out the wood books I guess.
Regards,
Bill | |
