| Oak bowl, Natural Edge, 9 1/2" diameter x 3 1/2" high, finished with sanding sealer and wipe on polyurethane This is a bowl from a humongous oak that grew in front of a friend's house. The tree, while not extremely tall, was very large in diameter at it's base. The tree had been standing dead for over a year, so the wood was already beginning to dry and not showing the characteristic red color I've come to associate with Red Oak, and while I'm not certain this is in fact a Red Oak tree, the characteristics of the tree do indicate that it most likely is .Red Oak or Champion Oak, Quercus rubra (syn. Quercus borealis), is an oak in the red oak group (Quercus section Lobatae). It is a native of North America, in the northeastern United States and southeast Canada. In forests, the northern red oak grows straight and tall, to 115 ft tall, with a trunk of up to 3 or 4 ft diameter; open-grown trees do not get so tall, but can develop a stouter trunk, up to 6 ft in diameter.
