catalpa wood

[se7enthdevil]

hi all, catalpa has become one of my favorite timbers and i'd like to point out anyone felling one 12" and up that i'm interested in the timber for turning into bowls.

 

they look great once turned and it's better than it going on the fire as it doesn't last long.

What kind of things do you turn out off it out of interest
