Aspen Burl Bowl

Detailed Info about bowl This bowl was turned from an aspen burl that came from Hovland, Minnesota, near the shore of Lake Superior. The burl was purchased from local loggers. Images of the burl are shown. Aspen burls are very rare. I have seldom them in living trees! The loggers tell me they see several burls in 1000 trees. This burl had the typical jagged and knobby bark which accounts for the irregular and beautiful bark edge of the bowl. The outer shape of the bowl shows the actual outer shape of the burl.
