Turned the crotch yesterday. Sap wood was very white so went with HF instead of OF. Little thicker then I would have liked but did not have my good hollowing mojo on & have blown apart apple when going thin in the past. Pics were taken after a quick dip in DNA started to dry when taking pics causing uneven color in pics. Back into DNA for a week & hope no cracks when drying. A little over 6in by a little under 3in, top about 3/16 lower about 3/8in

Should look very nice when done. Hope the drying goes well!

Looks pretty good! Nice curl on the bottom of the piece! Hope it makes it through the drying process as I would like to see it when finished!

Sure is an interesting piece of wood! Hope the drying process doesn't mess up all the hard work.

That is going to be a good looking HF. I would wrap it in a brown grocery sack or a couple of layers of newpaper leaving a opening at the opening of the HF.

Pretty wood... Looking forward to seeing it with some finish on it.
