It looks like FOG Wood (Found On Ground) sorry I couldn’t resist. Nice bowl tho’................ ;-)

I was also thinking black Locust… but some others here seem to think elm. If it is elm it would have a real bad smell ( urine like) while turning ?

Brian—It was pretty dry (about 12%) when I turned it, and I don’t recall a smell but I turn with the dust collector and air filter running.

I’ll place my vote for Honeylocust. The wood and bark look just like some Honeylocust on my property (Indiana), but I have to admit that I’m not real familiar with Black Locust, and the two could be identical in appearance.

Both Black and Honey could be growing in NE Wisc. Elm could also be growing there, but a little less likely than either of the locusts, I think.

Took it to our woodturner’s club meeting this morning … our resident expert says it is sugar maple.
