Turkey Foot Pinion Pine

[Allenk]

This bowl/hollowform is about 6"x6". The blanks all spalted while curing on my shelves in the shop. It has some wild looking grain. Turns easily, pretty soft, but is easy to sand. It soaked one day and night, and then the next two nights in Danish Oil. When cured, I will triple buff it, and it'll be ready to go to CO.
Don't have room for the light tent.

Pinyon Pine cone, still green, not quite ready for hungry jays, or human consumption.

I just sent you an answer to your PMs. I also found out, today, that they harvest the nuts from the pine cones of this tree. Pinon Nuts, sold by the major food stores... I never heard of them before.

I have another vase I've almost finished. I'll post a pic of it, when it's had it's last night in the oil.

thanks, everyone, for the nice comments... :redface:

I do believe that Ms. Alice REALLY liked your turning. I do believe that you have made her quite happy!

Al ... I like it as well and really like the shape you used as it seems to show off the character of the wood no matter how one might hold it.

Very, very nice! :wink:

I hope she enjoyed it much as I did...
Looks like she can make some delicious cakes!
