Beginning to End~Flame Box Elder Bowl

Freshly chopped flame box elder crotch piece...

base piece....

....this is going to make some pretty stuff!

Rough shaping of the bowl....


Look at all that color!

No one really knows why this wood takes on the amazing reds and pinks, but it's beautiful!


 Still roughing out....
This is going to be a big beautiful bowl!

....side figure, some bark inclusion that will need stabilizing


other side......

 Flame Box Elder bowl, done!
FLAWLESS Finish...a stunning piece, pictures do not do this justice!!
