Green turned Robinia bowl, 23 cm

Description

I turned this bowl from a freshly felled log. The tree grew in the street and had to be cut down by the highway authority. As the bowl dried, it took on a slightly oval shape. It would make a good fruit or salad bowl. Robinia is often called acacia. The wood has a yellow colour when fresh, which may darken with time. This bowl has a flash of pale sapwood on one side.
