Cherry Salad Bowl

[Rich Aldrich]

Friends from Georgia sent me a wet Black Cherry half log. Rough turned it and let it dry for 4 months. It has a food safe finish. 10-5/8 x 4-9/16 inches. 11.5 x 27 or so metric. They are scrambling to find the other half of the log they sent. Ha.

like the shape and WOW that grain!


Only 4 months to dry it ? Any significant movement after wards ?

It barely moved. Very dry here. Inside our house is around 10 percent humidity or less.

My friend Don in Georgia has the other half of the log. Getting ready to turn that one. Excited to see his results.

Not much movement on the cherry! Barely warped!

A beautiful grain pattern. Black cherry is a lovely timber.
