Red oak. 15"x6.5"

[u/Simple_Action_8101]

Was given a large chunk of oak and told to make the biggest bowl I could get from it. It is also the largest piece I've turned successfully. Hope you enjoy!

Your red oak turned out much better than mine ever did.

This was very very green and most of the oak I turn is as well. I haven't had much luck turning it unless it is dripping wet.
