Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) bowl
This is bowl #128. The tree was cut down in late 2013 by Middle Tennessee Electric to make room for a new power line. In the spring of 2014 a bowl blank was rough turned to facilitate drying. Two weeks ago the bowl was remounted to the lathe, turned to its final shape and size and finished with walnut oil.
