In a previous post<\/a>, I detailed everything I wanted to about Maple, so I won’t repeat it here.<\/p>\n

I specifically pulled this fairly large Ambrosia Maple bowl blank because I wanted to turn it into a bowl for a fellow woodworker as a gift.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Large Ambrosia Maple 3<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

I truly believed the blank to be completely dry and I noted zero moisture after I cut it on the bandsaw, but once I got into the heart of the piece I discovered that it wasn’t completely dry and that it had an unknown and imperceptible void in what would the bottom.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"

Large Ambrosia Maple 1<\/p><\/div>\n

The slight remaining moisture made the piece almost impossible to sand effectively plus it meant that the final piece was very slightly out of round.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Large Ambrosia Maple 2<\/p><\/div>\n

The void, which I find interesting but which I realize others might find distressing, sealed the bowls fate to not be given as the specific gift I intended it to be but instead one that will go in the stacks of other completed bowls that will someday make great gifts for, perhaps, less discerning and informed recipients.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I had intended to give this fairly large Ambrosia Maple bowl as a gift but once it was completed I wasn’t satisfied with it enough to give it as a gift, in part, because the intended recipient is a wood worker himself and I needed something I felt more positive about for such a specific individual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":175,"featured_media":2358,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[128,138,139,130],"tags":[147,154,171,181,200,204,210,239,240],"yoast_head":"\nLarge Ambrosia Maple Bowl -
