Solid Catapla Bowl
About 6 in x 6 in dia . Catapla tree or Indian bean tree is different than most trees . Most of the limbs are oval when cross cut . The center of the limb is off set . Makes a beautiful wood grain . I hollow out some of the inside with a 2- 1/2 in mortise bit . It is my favorite wood to work with .
