Natural edge plum bowl

I found what I think is the last piece of a plum tree that I got this past year.  While I was waiting for my Steelers to spank the Dolphins (really, who names a team after fish?), I made this out of it.  Not too bad!  Plum trees aren’t that common, so I don’t know if I’ll come across anymore, but this stuff sure is nice to turn.

 

Plum wood has a really nice contrasting color between the heart wood and the lighter sap wood. turns like a hardwood, but sands really easily.
