Desert Ironwood Burl Bowl no. 8017

Bowl number 8017 is a hand turned bowl made from Desert Ironwood Burl. Each of my bowls are signed, numbered and dated (year). They are finished with a friction polish that's applied while still on the lathe.

This bowl measures 7 3/4" across and is 2 1/2" high.

​DESERT IRONWOOD - (Olneya tesota) grows mainly in Southwestern United States and Northwestern Mexico.  Heartwood color ranges from an orangish yellow to a darker red or brown, with darker violet to black streaks. Some pieces may be almost entirely black. Sap wood is narrow and yellow.
