A Pecan Wood Bowl

[Dave Hoskins]

Just nice simple lines and wonderful colors. This last batch of pecan I got in is really great! 11" diameter, 3 1/2" high, 2 1/2" deep, 1/2 gallon volume. Did my usual with the walnut oil and shellac. But, while shellacing it I mixed in some lemon oil wax. Me thinks it is a good mid sized bowl.

Wow that IS some fancy wood! Nice looking bowl two, kind of just lets the wood be itself while showing it off but not getting in the way.

 

[David Johnson]

What Ryan said. Beautiful bowl.

Boy, I'm going to have to throw my pecan wood blanks out in the rain and see if they will take on some of that color... the last pecan bowl I turned was a little blah.. I did leave a little bark down one side for an accent... This one is only 6 1/2" dia by about 2 3/4" high...

 

[Darren Wright]

Those look good fellas!

 

[Ryan Mooney]

Well Chuck you managed to capture that strip of red on yours nicely as well though. It makes it kind of an interesting contrast piece imho.

Thanks, everybody! That is a nice bowl, Chuck. This pecan wood, besides being outside to "age", also came from a fairly wet area.
