"La Malvada"

"La Malvada" is a spectacular Black Locust LIVE Edge Burl Bowl in the Beard's Signature Series.  We call this a burl, but to be honest, we're not sure what it is.  It was a cutoff that was destined to go to the burn pit and looked like it had too much potential hiding in there to burn.  The pictures don't do this beauty justice.  It was turned wet and finished with linseed oil & beeswax.  We expected it to crack and warp over time but so far, it has not moved  much whatsoever.  The bark is starting to separate a little in spots as it dries.  This can be remedied with a little super glue.  "La Malvada" is the Beard's personal favorite piece he's ever turned with it's unique character and beauty. 

"La Malvada" was named after UFC fighter Silvana Gomez Juarez and means "The Wicked" in Spanish.
