Box Elder Bowl

Box elder, a type of maple with little or no commercial value, often has some spectacular red coloring that most associate with the tree's response to injury from the box elder beetle.  What you need to know if you collect work made from box elder is that the spectacular red color is photo reactive and will fade in ultraviolet light.

This is a recently finished textured bowl about 8" in diameter with a bit of turquoise filling a natural void.  It is available for sale.
