Project Information

Yesterday I posted the first bowl I ever made, well here is the second one, along with a platter.

These are made from curly maple, which I bought from a local dealer. The wood actually comes from the Gibson Guitar company, and is actually wood they have rejected for use on their guitars. Pretty nice reject wood if you ask me.

I made these and donated them to a silent auction to raise money for cancer. I think the sold for about $85.

Thanks for looking and commenting!

I wanted to get some wood from the Gibson factory, but it was a Sunday when I was in Memphis. That is a beautiful set of auction items.
