    Hi All,
    I suck at knowing the different woods, what type of wood is this bowl made from? It is about 5"W x 4"H.
    any information appreciated
    thanks for looking:)

    Looks like Maple burl? Light colored like that is usually a Maple wood. And Maple has great graining - it might not even be burl - just a nicely grained piece.

    Birdseye Maple?

    Definitely not birdseye: there are no "eyes"

    If it was smaller, I would have said boxwood, but I think maple burl is a good guess.

    I can't read the information stamped on the bottom - "Hand Made".......- but does it say where it was made? That might be very helpful in determining the wood.

    searching for The Quest........ is fruitless.

    thanks for all the replies folks:)
    Maple burls looks the closet, thanks Rayo:)
    thanks 2manybook:) I can't read much of the information either. I see Hand Made and then maybe the artist DM MOS??, CR along the edge. Not a local artist that I can find
    thanks komokwa, I tried that too:)

    cxgirl, suggest reading the middle and bottom lines under raking light and under UV light.

    They appear to say something like:

    D.M. Moss
    Canada
    Ross Ore... . B

    I suspect "The Quest" was stuck on later.

    I think it's CROSS CREEK N B - Cross Creek, New Brunswick, Canada

    Looks like maple, and maples, birch and oak would likely be the main hardwoods from New Brunswick, so Maple makes sense.
