Texas Ash Bowl Blank TA-229 10" x 10" x 5" 9.2 lbs. This is a large bowl blank of Texas Ash, suitable for a bowl of approximately 10" diameter and 5" 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. This bowl blank contains a nice crotch with attractive grain patterns associated with the branching. It does include some pith. There are some pith-associated cracks that you'll need to either avoid or stabilize. The bark is complete and is mostly tight, though at the edges you may wish to stabilize to ensure it is tight while turning. Please scroll through the photos beyond the first 3, to see all the pictures. I've taken close-ups of the bark and cracks so that you can look at them in detail. |
