Last month a fellow turner and I were able to cut down a dead Persimmon tree and what turned out to be a Black Cherry tree that was in danger of falling due to a hollow center on the property of my boss and her husband.
This bowl is from the Persimmon and I am giving it to the property owner tomorrow - as a belated Birthday gift and thank you. I had to use quite a bit of CA glue near the edge and a little coffee grounds as the wood was very porous near the center of the tree.
It is 9" x 3", finished with Walnut Oil, Shellac and WOP.
C&C welcome.
