Pierced Poplar Hollow Form

[holmqer]

Pierced Poplar Hollow Form. Just under 5" (12 cm) tall. Finished with Bush Oil and Polyurethane. Not bad for a hollowing demo made from a piece of a pallet

Great job...!

As for the "pallet" wood, I've seen overseas pallets made from woods that most of us would only dream to have to work with, what is those countries they see it as rubbish wood, is anything but, to many of us...!:wink:

Cheers

Who knew a chunk of Poplar could look so good? Great job, Eric!

Thanks everyone, like George said it can be quite surprising what you find when you break up a pallet and turn it. I tend to have more fun with this surprise wood than the more predictably good stuff.

That is a real nice looking turning, you did a great job. I have never tried piercing my turnings, I might have to try that one day.
Aloha.

What is your method of applying the Bush oil and how long it took to dry? I've tried on a couple of mahogany bowls and it took 3-4 days before it dried. It was curing in my basement temp at around 70 and humidity around 60%. Nice piece of pallet wood.

I am always in awe with great pieces from pallets.
Excellent job!

Thanks again

Rchan63, I wipe on the Bush Oil with a small scrap of cotton t-shirt let sit for 30 mins, re-apply and wipe down with paper towel after 15. It is dry enough to handle the next day, and ready for poly top coat after three. I wipe down with mineral spirits before poly.
