Wood Turnings

This small bowl was made when a larger maple burl was cut into bowl blanks.

This simple shaped sugar maple bowl comes a tree that was once in our backyard. It grew too tall and had to be removed  but it has provided blanks for many bowls.

This bowl was turned from a maple burl found in the Sharbot Lake area. It is approximately 8 inches high by 12 inches wide.

The maple burl bowl comes from a farm near Belleville. Burls are the growth you see on trees that look like a large bulb growing out of the tree. They are not all that common and can have a very beautiful grain pattern.
