I was gifted a nice blank of madrone from friends in Oregon and it sat and sat mostly because I feel guilty using a nice blank when I'm hoarding all this practice wood! But what fun this turned out to be- the chatoyance is gorgeous and on a whim o decided to try getting two bowls from the blank. I put solid mortis on both ends and aside from the hand sawing I decided to use instead of a parting tool( if felt like it was eating up too much of the wood, I may try this more often with smaller blanks. It certainly was less waste of a lovely piece of wood!
