Though Black Wattle does have some pretty grain I have found the wood to
be very unstable with alot of movement, shrinkage, and warping.

If my bowls crack and warp, at least I will have some acquired some skill in
making them. (Only been turning about 4 weeks) I was told by an old builder
that it made nice bowls, maybe only if you can stop it from cracking?
