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.

Very nice find and great bowl you made from it. That is the best way go get your supply of wood. It’s everywhere!!!!!!!
Only Mother Nature can make that design, too.

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.
