    Red Box Elder question

    Red Mallee Burl Bowl

    This bowl was turned from a single piece of Australian Red Mallee Burl. The dense Red Mallee is a challenge to turn and requires the turner to frequently sharpen tools. The turning is 10'' at it's widest and the interior bowl has a 4'' diameter.
