This is my 40th bowl and it is turned from box elder with some rich red grain in it. It finished out at 7 1/2” diameter and 3” high with about 3/32 wall. SOLD -- Jim Jakosh.....Practical Wood Products...........Learn something new every day!!

That’s beautiful! The last blank I turned from box elder had some very nice red streaks. Only they all ended up in the shavings I took off the bowl…

WOW!
That is really a very thin wall… isn’t it?
Will it hold up over the years?
COOL bowl!
Thank you!

Hi Joe. I think it should hold real well, but it may warp. It warped after the rough cut a month ago and it did again a little bit over night just before sanding. I could not get the sanding done after turning and had to wait till the next day.
I have other thin wall BE bowls and they are fine after 2 years…...............jim

Beautiful work and bowl.
Looks so fragile and almost like made of porcelain.
Amazing what you can get out of the wood.
Best thoughts my friend, I can see I missed a lot lately,
