Spalted Hackberry...won't even hold water

[Phillip Kelley]

This is a scrap piece that I got off the burn pile @ a sawmill.. It is about 4"" x 10" & has the 1st of several coats of hand rubbed poly on it..

I'm a big fan of spalted Hackberry. Nice bowl. Nice save the fire pile.

If it doesn't hold water, it's an "art piece"!:biggrin:

Great looking bowl, great save as well it would have been a shame to burn such a nice piece of wood.

Yarn Bowl!!!! Does not need to hold water -- It can hold yarn.

Good rim treatment --

Nicely done.....doesn't look familiar, must be cheating me with some other sawmill?

What is the finish you have done there? And it is 'art'!!!

Friends!

Thankfully I have two friends locally that have Woodmizers & are also turners..This piece actually came from a log that the papermill here rejected..probably originally came from the Delta area east of here..I have tried Mineral Oil & Beeswax, BLO, Tung Oil & brush on poly but I have switched to MinWax's handrubbed poly & seem to get the best results with that.....I am going to put about 6 (or more) coats on the "art piece" !

Easter is an appropriate day to show a "holey" bowl...

It sure looks nice!
