I am not a fan of glueing lumber together to make a bowl. I would rather have a log. I called a local mill to see if they had any scraps. Talked to the guy on the phone for half an hour, very friendly. He said come up he has a couple of small things. I went up and we talked for at least an hour. He gave me a walnut log and a chunk of what he called Osage orange. They are larger than what the look like in the pictures. He said come back when I need more. Going to have to study the orange for awhile to figure the best way to divide it up.

That's a good friend to have! Wouldn't hurt to make him a candy dish for his desk so he will think of you when he has more to give away

Nice! Looks pretty wet; what's the moisture content on these?

Not sure and have no way to test it. They have been sitting out in the rain and snow.
Give him a bowl, but write a thank you note with your name and number on the bottom. Make it easy to find you.

I got the walnut cut in half and one bowl rough turned and in the drying box.
