Driving home I see this big stump of some kind of mystery tree…. at least a 4 foot cube of half rotten perfection… so i picked up a smaller piece and brought it home. The pictures pretty much speak for themselves. Hopefully this weekend I will be able to go back and rescue the big chunk. The bowl is roughly 6”x4”. -- Greg in Ontario, Canada | |||||||

I was thinking maple too…looks like it was “birdseying”? Nice grab!

Wow! Nice find. Most people step over this kind of stuff but someone with sawdust in their veins will cut it open and see what is inside. Nice bowl.

These are some of my favorite postings…. finding rough lumber, sawing it up and making something beautiful.
Nicely done !

How did you know there was this cool bowl inside? Lucky you didn’t mess it up when you cut open the chunk!
Nice one man!

Amazing how a piece of rotten wood can become a wonderful piece of art. The bowl looks like it’s made of agate. Quite beautiful.
