I sold 4 bowls this morning so I had to restock the shelf  8" x 3 1/2" Robinia bowl with a polish finish and a spalted beech 12" x 2" with a Teak oil finish

Like all turners I like spalting but I've been noticing your bowl rims more, I do like the way you change the angle and give a bowl a whole new perspective.

Hi John the Robinia tree is the one you see on nature programs in Africa were the leopards lay on the branches up them to rest and to escape from lions  it is also known as  False Acacia,

Yes I to love spalted woods thank you for your interest in the rim of some of my bowls I first started doing that about 10 years ago as you say it adds a new dimension and can be adjusted to fit in with all manner of bowls

Woody, 2 stunning forms an finishes, I wish I still had a stock of spalted beech, it's so beautiful and vyvsdad your's should come up the same.

Well done.
