What to do with a pretty piece of wood with an old rusty nail in it?

Turn a bowl, of course. But avoid the nail.

The wood is spalted box elder. Someone drove a nail into the tree. The tree grew over the nail then the center rotted out leaving the tree hollow.

This bowl is 5″ by 2″ finished with walnut oil. Two small rusty nails decorate the top.

Enjoy!
