This bowl was made from a piece of Golden Raintree given to me by a friend from church. Her husband had planted this tree over 50 years ago beside their home. I've never seen a Golden Raintree this large and I was quite excited to see how it would turn. The bowl measures 3 3/4" high x 10 1/2" diameter. I pierced 48 ribs into the side of the bowl and then spent several days hand sanding them. I've had this idea for a bowl in my head for quite some time and acquiring this unusual piece of wood inspired me to tackle this project.
