spectacular and outrageous wood

[Baggy]

A very kind man recently gave me a lump of wood which he has described as "spectacular and outrageous wood"

 

Here is what I did with it, another spoon... and he is correct.

 

I must photograph it with different lighting, that was my usual setup but the depth of the bowl does not show, could be the patterning.

Nice one Baggy! Did you use your new tools that you showed me?

 

Tools used were and axe, bushcraft knife (that I made) and a spoon knife.

I will be using the new adze on a couple of bowls that I am starting this weekend.

I will look that one up, the spoon is made of Sumach/Rhus.
