I Turned a Dish From an Orange

I came across a scab of osage orange from a mill that was cutting it for lumber. Parts of the scab were just large enough to get some small dishes from. This dish ended up roughly 5 1/2” x 1”. I turned it primarily using Easy Wood Tools with an assist from a skew and a bedan.

Nicely done Doug. Good ol bois d’arc, aka Osage orange 😊

Very lovely! I wish we had osage orange here in Switzerland!

You might know it by another name. Try bois d’ark. It was used in Europe for bow making. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@SuzieSwissWoodturner]

@@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound Yes. I know. I own a bow made from osage orange (the wood was purchased from the USA and the bow made in Germany)
