A simple little bowl in a wood that was most pleasing to turn. The bowl is 4" x 2 1/4" and is made from the wood of the Snowdrop tree, (Halesia sp. ,possibly H. dipteria.)
It was standing dead for a year but only felled yesterday.

I have a snowdrop tree in the garden. Mine is Halesia monticola, but I never knew that the timber would turn out as nice as in your bowl, which I really admire.
I think that a branch or two may need pruning.
