A local church had a dogwood tree cut and offered me the wood. The
section nearest the ground was 16 inches in diameter. Biggest durn
dogwood I ever saw. Will have enough for 8 large bowls and a bunch of
smaller ones. Been slicing and sealing, roughed out a few.

Nice score. Any figure or color in dogwood? Post some photos when you
get some made...

Minimal figure but is a pleasant pink color which does not fade or
turn brown.



you can recognize dogwood by its bark.

Good one. Actually another name for it is alligator bark tree because
of the way the bark looks. or sounds.
