>Beautiful Mike! I keep going back and looking at the picture, I wish we had maple like that down here in South Georgia. I believe the ambrosia and box elder are both maples. Thanks for sharing the picture with us.

>Ambrosia maple is not a tree. It is a tree that has been attacked by the ambrosia beetle. you can see the beetle tracks as little black dots. in the picture. I don't know if the beetle will attach any tree other than maples or not. I have seen ambrosia beetle staining in silver , red and sugar maples. Box elder is what we north of the border call manitoba maple.

Nice bowl Mike.
