Pecan----lots of curves

[Gary Max]

I am working on cleaning out some old blanks and found this block of Pecan today.
Lots of grain and a few curves. This block was dry----I ain't a big fan of turning dry wood--- to much saw dust.

Nice one, Gary! Since I prefer dry wood, you could just send all the dry stuff to me!!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

That is a nice looking vase Gary and the pecan looks really nice.

What a nice grain pattern. Good work, Gary.

Send him a bag of sawdust ;)

Those are nice Gary! You have shown us some very figured wood lately, and we appreciate it! I was wondering about the inside of these you have shown us. Are they all hollowed............the pics have not shown the top or I don't recall if you mentioned hollowing on the other posts. Could we see some pics of the top and hollowing if you can? :)

[Gary Max]

You mean they are supposed to be hollow-----------dang

Another nice one Gary! I've heard that Pecan can be tough as nails when dry. Was this one any harder to turn than dry Oak or Maple? Just curious...

[Gary Max]

Steve I really like Pecan or that would of been firewood. Turning end grain made a bunch of sawdust.

[David E Keller]

I can't imagine hollowing dry pecan end grain that deep... That makes my arms sore just thinking about it. Nicely done.

[Greg Ketell]

That is really nice! Great shape.

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Gary, love that grain swirl in the form. Nice work!:)

[Gary Max]

You like this Christopher----that Pecan came from Texas
