Flame Grain Cherry Natural Edge Wood Bowl

I got notification from my woodturning club that a woman had some cherry wood.

It turned out that she lived about a mile from my house. The tree was quite large and had just been cut. I got blocks of wood so large that I had to have help putting them in my van.

This natural edge bowl is from a crotch area of the tree, and that is the reason for the flame grain appearance. It measures 11 1/2 by 5 inches.
