Green Ash Bowl Blank GA-100
~6" diameter x ~2-1/2" depth
2-3/4 lbs.
This is a nice, small half-log bowl blank from Texas Green Ash. The color is a soft brown, in both the heartwood and sapwood, with a thin section of darker brown bark on the backside.
This blank will work well for a conventional bowl, and with full and tight bark - especially well for a natural-edge bowl. The log section halved to produce this blank was cut close to the pith and most has been removed. What remains is tight with only two small, but open pith-related radial cracks. I recommend use for a NE bowl form where those small cracks would readily turn off.
I see no other cracks, borer holes or structural flaws.
