Woodturning Mystery Bowl In A Board

www.AsWoodTurns.com
I wish I knew what species of this this bowl is turned from. It was a decorative tree in my back yard that I cut down. The wood is beautiful.
It is an interesting convergence of a square bowl and a bowl.
Size: about 7 x 2 and 2 High. Finished with walnut oil.
Enjoy.
p.s. If you would like a more in depth demonstration than my weekly videos, please contact me for an IRD (Zoom Demo) on this or other topics.

Another pleasant Friday morning watching "As Wood Turns". There is always something good coming from the Stratton shop and this is no exception. That is a beautiful piece of wood Alan. You did it proud. Nicely turned and beautifully finished. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and continue to stay safe.🙂🙂

This wood looks like Redbud to me. Here in North Carolina it blooms with small purple blooms in March, almost before everything else. Its seed pods look like small flat pea pods, and it is extremely prone to checking. The leaves are green, but there is a cultivar that has reddish purple leaves. The light colored sapwood checks easily, but the heartwood is pretty stable. Here's a link to the Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cercis_canadensis

Could be - thanks for the research.

[@valeriehenschel1590]

Any dead leaves still out in the yard? That would go a long way to helping you identify it. The wood has the beautiful look of Acacia (honey locust), mesquite ( black locust), or perhaps a nut tree like almond or pecan. What ever it is, it is well worth the time invested to turn it.

[@AsWoodTurns]

Agree for the pretty wood.

bonjour Alan je pense que c'est du sumac de virginie en France on dit vinaigrier merci pour la video

[@AsWoodTurns]

Sumac is likely - I looked at a picture on the internet - Similar
Alan

[@louisjcharlett5804]

Nice project! What did the leaves look like? The heart wood kinda' looks like Sumac.

[@AsWoodTurns]

The leaves are long gone - only wood left. Thanks for pitching in.

Osage Orange better known as hedge apple

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Beautiful piece of wood. May well be crab. Hope someone can give a definitive answer.

[@AsWoodTurns]

I hope so too.
Alan

[@terryhooper7249]

Wood could be laburnum?

[@AsWoodTurns]

I've turned laburnum but not for quite a while. The tree did not look like it.
But thanks for pitching in.

This wood looks very similar to the Russian Olive tree I cut down.

[@AsWoodTurns]

Interesting Russian Olive that I have cut does not have the variation.
Thanks for your input
