Wood source: Reclaimed from a residential tree removal in Kansas City.
 
This bowl was carved in Milwaukee during Tracey's bowl demonstration at The Woodworking Show.  It sat on a shelf drying for over a year until finally getting sanded, and since it developed a crack on one end, Kathrina gave it some wire stitching.  The texturing on the outside is a remnant of the initial chainsawing of its basic shape.
