Madrona Bowl Blank Md48 4" x 8" x 14" 8.8 lbs. This is a beautiful and complex half-log bowl blank of Pacific Madrone wood taken from a crotch, which is the node at which branches originate. This one is exceedingly complex and is suited for an experienced turner. There are 3 major branch intersections along the main trunk in this blank, with additional incipient branch buds present. In addition to the grain complexity, the blank is spalted and has some drying cracks. It's a striking blank that will make for some beautiful finished turnings. The bark is absent from this piece. You have the option of turning either a conventional bowl or a "barkless" natural-edge bowl. It is extra-long, so you may get several bowls or other turnings out of this one piece of wood. This is a GREEN to partially air-dried bowl blank, meaning that it still retains a lot of its original moisture from when it was a living tree. It dried naturally without seal to about 25% MC, hence the cracks. Once we discovered it and cut it to dimension, we sealed it with Anchor Seal to continue the process of slowly drying. It was measured at 25% moisture content in January 2023. If you need a current moisture content, please message us so that we can check its status for you. This blank does have quite a few cracks. While we often treat the cracks for you, we've opted not to for this blank since it is still pretty green. You'll want to fill these with CA glue prior to turning. The cracks will continue to develop as the block dries, so there may be more than shown in the photos. Because of the complexity of grain swirl in this blank and the open cracks, we recommend this for an EXPERIENCED turner. About the Tree This Madrona tree grew on San Juan Island, Washington. It died naturally and rested in the forest moss, spalting gently over time. |

Definitely recommend this!
Format: Kindle
This is a wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated story about a boy teaching others to be kind. There are many examples of being kind with even more suggestions at the end of the book. We ALL need to be kind to others because the world is a better place to be if we respect others and are nice to them. Being mean or selfish diminishes us and makes the world more inhospitable.

Such an Adorable Book
Format: Kindle
This book was one I originally borrowed on Kindle to read to my twin niece and nephew to hopefully help them stop fighting. The book was so adorable, I bought it for Kindle to make sure I always had a copy. While the message is great, treating others with kindness, the illustrations and rhymes are what make it unique. There are some larger words used, but they are all in a clear context to help build vocabulary. The twins loved the farm animals and I actually used the book as part of a lesson on kindness for my Sunday school class who also enjoyed it. Even though I already have the Kindle version, I am ordering paper copies to give as Christmas gifts this year. I love this author, the illustrations, and the message. This is the type of children's book everyone can enjoy and agree on.
