Jacaranda Root Bowl

[Bob Wemm]

Early last August I dug up a Jacaranda stump/root, about 6in above and the rest below ground. The tree had just been cut down and I managed to get a couple of branch bits as well.:biggrin:
I rough turned the bowl and packed it away in a cardboard box with the green shavings all around it.
Unpacked on friday and it had warped about 1/8in and not cracked at all.
It is finished with Krylon and measures 8.5in x 4.5in.
The grain is really nice and it has retained most of the green color that was there to start with.

C&C welcome and thanks for looking.

Bob.

Beautiful bowl, but will it hold soup? :biggrin::biggrin:

You Aussies have an unfair advantage.... you get all that nice Australian wood just laying about .... all you have to do is dig it up. :biggrin:
