Why "Lidded Bowl" instead of "Lidded Box"?
Funny story. The Black Walnut body began life as a Bowl, plain and simple. The lid was a chunk of Sycamore (?) on my workbench, reminding me of a prior, failed, attempt at a Lidded Box of Sycamore. Well, you puts the lime in the coconut and drinks it all up. Or, if you prefer, Sir, you seem to have gotten some of your chocolate in my peanut butter. I thought it looked nice. I still do. The whole shebang is finished with bees wax. Last December is when I did this. It still looks like this, if a little dusty.

You like this one,, Gman? So do I. It's very soft and unpretentious. Can you tell if that's Sycamore? I'm not really sure. It came in a package a long while ago, unmarked.

That looks really good to me but I have never seen Sycamore that looks like that. I could be (probably am) wrong here.
Still looks good.

Another beautiful piece, I like the way the sapwood on the walnut blends in with the Mystery Sycamore top. Seems to me that the tree spirits wanted these two pieces to be united - otherwise the sycamore box bottom would have cooperated with you. There are no failures - only different paths toward success.
Thanks for posting.

Here's an acorn made of Walnut and Birch. I learned this from Ron Brown.
