Another pleasant Friday morning watching "As Wood Turns". There is always something good coming from the Stratton shop and this is no exception. That is a beautiful piece of wood Alan. You did it proud. Nicely turned and beautifully finished. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and continue to stay safe.🙂🙂

Nice bowl, Alan. Also a nice subtle shout out to the three little bears.

Very nice piece Alan. The wood is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I will look for you next week

Great bowl.

Thanks for the inspiration....

Any dead leaves still out in the yard? That would go a long way to helping you identify it. The wood has the beautiful look of Acacia (honey locust), mesquite ( black locust), or perhaps a nut tree like almond or pecan. What ever it is, it is well worth the time invested to turn it.

This wood looks like Redbud to me. Here in North Carolina it blooms with small purple blooms in March, almost before everything else. Its seed pods look like small flat pea pods, and it is extremely prone to checking. The leaves are green, but there is a cultivar that has reddish purple leaves. The light colored sapwood checks easily, but the heartwood is pretty stable. Here's a link to the Wikipedia page:

Nice project! What did the leaves look like? The heart wood kinda' looks like Sumac.

bonjour Alan je pense que c'est du sumac de virginie en France on dit vinaigrier merci pour la video

Beautiful piece of wood. May well be crab. Hope someone can give a definitive answer.

Osage Orange better known as hedge apple

Wood could be laburnum?

This wood looks very similar to the Russian Olive tree I cut down.
