RustyFN Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I rough turned one of the bowl blanks. I am terrible at identifying types of wood. I'm sure some of you will know what it is. HARO50, Cal, p_toad and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Great start! I went back and looked at the pictures you posted when cutting the log. I think it might be maple, judging from the bark. But that's just a guess. Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyDan Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Looking good Rusty. Did you enjoy turning the wet wood? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Pretty nice rough turn. Like Lew it looks like maple from the blank pics. Don't have much of that around here, but I got some beech this week may be able to turn some tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Howe Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Nice rough out bowl, Rusty. Joining the chorus, here. It's maple...I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Krumanaker Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Looks good to me, also think it's maple. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpadave52 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Looks good from the West side of Indiana Rusty.. Agree with others, it appears to be Maple (probably Sugar Maple or sometimes called "Soft" Maple). I assume this was an "urban log" you acquired? I happened upon this FFA tree identification project from West Virginia. You might download & save for future reference if you find helpful. I did.

Another good indicator in this case probably was Sugar Maple...all the Sugar Maple camps are running around here right now; trees tapped and first big pancake, fresh maple syrup festival this weekend Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
