  Back Scratcher is laminated on a form. In this case, I used Black Walnut as the primary wood with Maple inserts. I started making these about 25 years ago and recently made a new form and tried a few more. This one is about 21" long with a 1 ½" turndown on the end. |

The Urban Forest is a wonderland for the wood lathe artist. Your own yard trees, neighbors trees, or tree service are sources for salad bowl materials. Big trees of course are preferred, the larger the tree, the larger the bowl or tray. All parts of the tree can be used with some imagination. Forks of limbs often show feather like grain patterns. Root balls usually show wild grain patterns. Burls can be found and are often very rewarding for their unusual grain patterns. Even the straight grained trunk of the tree can make a beautiful bowl accented with the bark of the tree or turned with a unique shape or embellished with surface carving, coloring, or burning.
