When I got to where I needed to pick a block of wood for bowl #100, I had a lot of material to choose from. I have a friend who owns a tree cutting service and calls me when his guys cut down something interesting. Needless to say it was a hard choice but I settled on this big piece of Ash, not really knowing what I would find inside but knowing that at least it would be a good sized bowl if nothing else. I came across some rotten stuff which was not the easiest to work with. Had to do some filling with clear epoxy to keep everything together, and ended up with some “windows” in the knots. Not sure if I want to let this one go, I love how it turned out. What do you think? Finished size is 13″ across and almost 4″ deep.
