spalted hackberry ornament

[Tony Pridmore]

Spalted hackberry and ebonized pecan. 2 1/8" dia. x 4 1/4" high. The hackberry was from a large diameter log section given to me by a friend in my turning club. I don't think he realized what he had. :D

These pics may look familiar to some. They have previously been posted over in the "Other Things We Make" forum on the IAP site.

Great looking ornament. You guys that are showing all these nice turnings are gonna influence me into trying some ornaments myself someday.

Very nice ornament. Don't you just love finding that kind of spalting.

Great looking ornament - amazing wood! Hope you can get your hands on more of it!

[Tim Rinehart]

Does that mean this one isn't being given away with other ornaments for Hospice this week?

Hmmm, you may have to bring me a piece of that spalted hackberry to the Christmas party this weekend! Could that be your Dirty Santa exchange gift? ;)

Nice work, I like it alot.

Very nice shape - and the finial size and shape complement the form. The wood is also very special.

[dan carter]

Your friend realizes now what he had. :-) Very nice indeed.

[David E Keller]

Beautiful wood and nicely detailed... That's a winner!

[Paul Douglass]

Well like i thought I said yesterday, and must have not clicked on Post... that is a beautiful ornament. Spalted wood really shows off and the size shape and all, just right.

Thanks to all for the kind words.

Tim, I believe there's another small chunk of the hackberry in the shop. It's yours when I find it.
