Amabrosia Silver Maple Natural Edge Bowl

Sanded to 800 and finished with Watco Danish Oil since it was mostly heartwood. Buffed with Tripoli and waxed with Conservaotor’s microcrystalline wax. About 10” x 4 1/2” high.

Wow, that’s beautiful. I wish we had nice trees like that out here.

I’m taking a two day course with Cindy Drozda. Yesterday was the hollow form. In two weeks , part two is stand and finial. Then I’m going to remake a chalice.

Thanks Glenn. Just a humble Silver or Soft Maple as commonly known. This one was not that big and a daughter tree of a hundred year old one at our cottage (where I am sitting now gazing at a magnificent Lake Erie). It was mostly heart wood which makes it more interesting and the Danish Oil popped the grain as I hoped it would. I would swap any day for your Big Leaf Maple!
