When I'm fortunate enough to score some unusual wood, I always like to promise the person I obtained it from something in return made from that wood.
After drying since last summer, today I finally was able to turning a bowl for a woman I work with who gave me pieces of her Magnolia that was being cut.
Thought I post a photo. The yellow area is sapwood, the darker wood is heart. The thin band on the rim is my first try at an inlay (Walnut), I'd just wanted to try something different.
