Wood Bowls
Box Elder
4 1/4 "H, 6"W, 7"L

Box elder (Acer negundo) also known as ash-leafed maple and Manitoba maple is the only common maple to have compound leaves, each leaf composed usually of five leaflets. A member of the soft maple family, its wood is too weak to be used for large projects.
Hackberry
3 1/2 "H X 6 1/2"
Natural edge bowl with bark left on. Lots of distinct light and dark grain pattern.
Hackberry (Celtic occidentalis) is a native American species in the elm family, also known as sugarberry, hoop ash, and bastard elm. The wood is sometimes marketed as elm. The name comes from the fruit of the tree, a drupe of small purple berries which are sweet and attract songbirds. The berries turn purple before ripening fully and in this state are very sour -- hence the "hack".
