Texas Ash Bowl Blank TA-118
7" x 8" x 2-1/2" thick
3-1/2 lbs.
This is a smaller bowl blank of Texas Ash, suitable for a bowl of approximately 5" diameter and 2 to 2-1/2 depth. This is a half-log blank with full bark on the back side, ready to be turned as either a conventional or natural-edge bowl. It comes from a tree with numerous burl buds that extend out from the deep interior to form prominent ridges and mounds on the barky surface (top photo). One large and at least two small buds are present in this blank.
The log was halved very close to the pith and all of the pith appears to have been removed. One very small and tight radial check is present on one face (bottom photo, but too small to see). I see no other structural flaws.
