Dogwood

Nice score. Any figure or color in dogwood? Post some photos when you get some made...

Minimal figure but is a pleasant pink color which does not fade or turn brown.

Good one. Actually another name for it is alligator bark tree because of the way the bark looks. or sounds.

there is a type here in northern Minn that is a type of brushwood, has glossy red bark, called red osier dogwood, a favorite browse for deer.

Cool... In case my CRS kicked in and I didn't tell you, both of the bowls that I turned from your dogwwd blanks for that animal charity sold... Thanks again! I was my first experience with dogwood and a lot of fun...

Of the 2 roughed out bowls that you sent, one was solid pink and the other was slightly spalted and very pretty.. I gave both 2 coats of natural Danish oil and then buffed them and they were very pretty bowls..

I remember. And how are the animals? And your family? Getting ready for the annual Christmas sale here, and roughing out dogwood, and cracking pecans.

The event was "Woofstock" and raised quite a bit, I think it was enough to finish the year out on free spaying, rounding up strays, etc.... We're doing great! Baja agrees with us and our budget... Got my business license a few months ago, so Baja Woodcraft is "legal" now and doing a show a month...
