Poor Planning, Beautiful Outcome! - Wood Turning

This is a piece of FOG (Found On Ground) wood. Maybe some of you recognize it and can let the rest of us know what kind of wood it is.
I made a mistake early on and then had to cope with it and adjust all the way through the turning of this bowl. I hope I can remember to be more careful with my next piece! Finished in shellac.

Once again you have turned an ugly, odd-shaped piece of mystery wood into something useful and beautiful. I am never disappointed with your videos.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

How nice, thanks John! 😊

[@calmwoodcreations3709]

Bradford pear. This was the base cut-off of a sucker branch which grew tight to the main trunk, so not truly a crotch piece. It came down in an ice storm several years ago and was at the curb, free to take. I sent it to Phil because I knew there was something gorgeous and unique in it, but I couldn't see it. He discovered what it wanted to become! Thank you, Phil, for revealing what an ugly chunk of firewood can be! Much like Cinderella and her Fairy Godmother...... 😜 😉 Thumbs up 👆

I love the bowl, Phil! I also very much enjoyed the journey you took to get there. I, too, like the vertical orientation, but I like the wider part at the top.

You could always make a stand for it or turn it into a wall hanger. As an art piece it doesn't need to do anything except be displayed the way you like it. In my experience, the decision between "firewood" and "useful" wood depends mostly on the battle between the imagination of the artist and his need to keep warm :)
