Pecan Bowl with a "Smile"

[Don Carter]

This is a pecan bowl that has been finished with two coats of Minwax Antique Oil. It still needs to be buffed. This is a very dense and heavy bowl. It has a bark inclusion that looks like a smile in the side. ;)
What do you guys think?

All the best.

Very nice, how big? My wife says she'd give it room. That's high praise from her!

Very nice Don! I really like the look of pecan. I to am working on several pecan bowls. I have 5 roughed out with many more to go. Now the waiting for drying time.

All the best.

Nice looking bowl, that has fruit bowl written all over it imo.

Don - good looking bowl! I like how you have the rim slightly slanted inwards. Nice work!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Don, That is a nice grin on the bowl! I have not turned any Pecan yet but some day! I was wondering on the picture with the window in the back ground the front of the bowl gets put in the shadow, do you use the flash for the pics? If not put the flash to the on position so it will fire all the time and see if that brightens up the front of the bowl. Or use a secondary light source to do the same. You could make a big reflector and direct some of the light from the window to the front also. So that is my only critique!

Great job,

Jeff
