This is not "poison sumac" but a very friendly variety: Staghorn. I found the wood growing along an old abandoned
railroad track in Western New York. the log this bowl came from was just over 4 inches in diameter. The bowl is
4 inches across and an inch deep.

Horse Chestnut Burl bowl, about 8" diameter and 3" deep. This (1/8 - 3/16") walls make it more for art than anything
else. the wood came from Lockport, in Western New York, from another woodturner.
