A bowl

[Beezlebub]

Not sure what the wood is but it's the hardest wood I've turned and the limb ends caught tools more than any time I've been turning. Still turned out to be nice looking wood I think.

What LOML did with it.

Thats a variety of oak I feel sure,,,,,,

I like the profile was that your chuck tenon on the bottom or did you turn it in there intentionally?

Dick - I was wondering the same thing.... looks like it could be used for the chuck tenon - and left on since you cut around it... making it almost decorative.

I like the bowl - your love did a nice job filling it!

I'm gonna guess Pecan. It's definitely a hard wood. It might be Oak. Did it smell kinda bad when you cut it? If so, I'd say Oak. Either way it made a beautiful bowl.

To many flecks in it for pecan I think

The bottom was intentional and thanks.

I'm gonna guess Oak too. That really looks like Oak to me.

I agree about the bottom - first time I have seen both a tenon and a recess turned on the bottom of a bowl. Very interesting.

Love the pine cones your better half used to decorate it. Looks nice!

Color is about right for pecan, but the grain seems more like a white oak. Nice bowl.

[triplefreak]

Definitely oak. My guess is White Oak. Grain looks very familiar, simply because I had a huge White oak in my backyard cut down recently.


Now, if I could only find a good bandsaw at a decent price....

Ok, Oak it is. ;D

Thanks again.
