Myrtlewood top and European Black Walnut base.  I like the sapwood in the base - adds interest.

This is the first face turning I've done since 7th grade.  The bowl is Myrtlewood with the center showing the base which is European Black Walnut.  Finish is beeswax rubbed in with 0000 steel wool followed by bees/caranuba wax.  The pieces are joined with epoxy.

I started out turning a bowl, but blew through the bottom.  So, I turned a base to fit in the bottom cavity.  Didn't have any more Myrtlewood.
