Gnocchi forms carved out of cherry for a chef at Acacia Mid-Town restaurant 2601 W. Cary St.

Big bowls are piling up and more to come in the next few weeks. Ash, maple and a mystery wood are shown. Today I'll be digging into some Royal Paulonia(princess tree) and making long narrow bowls from it.

It's sad to see such a beautiful tree have be cut down. It is however a special feeling to be able to do something with the wood to keep the memories alive.








The tree was cut down in the morning and the bowl was carved later that afternoon.
