Featured Not Furniture, A Wood Bowl

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

 

some type of burl seems to have been used...

 

thanks komokwa, will see what I can find under burl

 

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

 

Maple for sure.

 

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