 Crepe myrtles are so fun and so beautiful, and they can have so many odd issues. I have actually had one person ask me a couple of times about the crepe myrtle bowl that I talk about. I have one that is just beautiful crepe myrtle wood, and it's because the tree fell over in a storm, and I had a friend who was luckily a woodworker, and that's how I got the bowl. But I don't know why we don't do more with that wood.
