Another Smallish Size Pecan Wood Bowl

[Dave Hoskins]

Finished this yesterday afternoon. Just getting around this morning to putting it online, etc.. 8" diameter, 2 3/4" high, 2" deep, 4 cup volume. Wood sealed with walnut oil. Finishing done with shellac mixed with a small amount of walnut oil based wax.

Nicely done, Dave. The figure and inclusions on that piece of pecan reminds me of a tortilla.

Now I can't look at it without wanting some butter and green chili.

Nice bowl for sure. A question if I may: Do you find pecan wood at lumber stores there in US.? or it is usually coming from felled trees in roads or neighbours gardens or similar.?

 

[Dave Hoskins]

Toni, all of my pecan comes from local trees. Storm damage, etc.. Sometimes getting pecan is hard to do. It's usually a very tough tree to damage except small limbs. A friend of mine has 6 very large pecan trees that average 5' trunk diameter. They are near a fence line and a road and power line. Once in a while they have to be trimmed back so they don't damage the power lines. He has it done by a tree service instead of the power company doing it so the trees don't get butchered up. So, I get the wood. It's a win win for me. Free wood, except the labor.
