First Finished Bowl!

[BillPappas]

A few weeks back I posted pictures of the first bowl I had turned since I was kid and it came apart in the process. So I thought I should post pictures of my first successful bowl! Anyone have any idea what kind of wood the bowl is made of?

Thanks,

Bill

That's a beautiful little bowl.

Don't keep us hangin' :rotflm:

First bowl? :notworthy::notworthy::notworthy: That is quite a piece. As for the wood, I'm pretty sure it's not Ash, but it doesn't look familiar to me. Can't wait to hear the answer. :icon_thum

Nice bowl. I was going to say elm but.... :dontknow:

Is that color the natural color of the wood?
If so, I'm leaning towards Poplar.
It's the only white wood I know of that shows a greenish cast when dry.
You usually don't see that kind of standout grain in Poplar, but then again, wood does wonderful things sometimes!

Bill, it saddens me to see yet another person fall to the Dark Side, but I gotta say, that's a very nice bowl, with great proportions. Grain comes out beautifully.

As to what it's made of....eh...WOOD!

:eusa_clapGreat job!!!!I hope my first bowl turns out as nice.

Thanks for all the kind words. The finish is just wax and the color of the wood is fairly close to the picture. I know the bowl is not poplar or ash. The problem is I have no idea what it really is!!! It was written on the blank and I forgot to write it down, I think it said peruvian something..maybe pecan...time for me to break out the wood books I guess.

Regards,

Bill
