Bur Oak natural edge bowls

[JD1137]

I have a commission job to make a few bowls for a lady who lost a large (200+ year old?) Bur Oak tree.

I took a few of the medium size sections of the trunk, maybe 18-20” diameter. Trying to finish a few of the bowls in time for the holidays.

Decided to sand and oil these (2) natural edge bowls first. They were once-turned and dry after first turning them in August.

Bigger one is about 11 x 5” and the cored smaller bowl is about 8 x 3.5”

I like the wide sapwood ring. Thick bark too.

Very nice!

I really like those live edge bowls like that and those two would be right up near the top for me. Well done. And cool for the lady to know they came from a tree she knew.
