First HF Black Oak Burl

[Gary Conklin]

I had a lot of fun and frustration with this one. Had an intentional design change midway, and llike it much better.

Beautiful piece of wood, nice job on it.

[Dennis Ford]

That wood has a lot of character and you did a good job of showing it off.

Gary - Congrats on your first HF! Looks pretty good to me! Cool looking wood with lots of character! Nice work! Looking forward to your next one but I do have to warn you - hollow forms are very addictive! Have fun!

Gary,
Great job on the Black Oak Burl. Form and finish look good. Black Oak is not always easy to work with.
Well Done!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Gary great looking first HF and wood looks great with the exception it is kinda hard to work with. Well done.

Gary, The vessel is very nice the shape shows the burl and inclusions well! I like the old black oak as I have lots of it to chose from!

Keep at it !

Nice job on a very pretty piece of wood. I'd love to see it all oiled up and sitting pretty!...Bill..

Beautiful, Don't take this the wrong way but the first thing I thought of when I saw it was Charlie Brown's ghost costume in the Great Pumpkin.

I love it wish I had some burls!!!

[Jim Kountz]

Now thats some funky looking wood!! It looks fantastic, well done!!

[Tim Cleveland]
