Hickory NE

[Ken Hill]

Did not want thin I reckon, turned it and finished it and that be that. Probably an AO finish....completed it a while back and forgot to post it. Im kind of getting away from teh thin and ultra polished look, it just isnt me haha! Rough geuss, 7 x 4

Ken, that is beautiful. Love the light sap wood dark vein moving through it.

[John Keeton]

Ken, that wood is beautiful!! Of course, the photography is pretty good, too!;)

[Baxter Smith]

Great looking wood Ken. I have several NE hickory roughouts from your place last year. They look pretty bland without any finish. Your post makes me want to get going on them!

[Steve Vaughan]

Ain't nothing wrong with roughing it! Great looking bowl. Love hickory...and it's near-twin, pecan! Beautiful contrasting grain.

[Michelle Rich]

wow! this is super. I think NE should be finished rustically...it seems to fit them better..so I agree they shouldn't look so "polished"

[Bernie Weishapl]

That is a beauty Ken. The wood is really nice.

[Steve Schlumpf]

I am definitely liking the Hickory!! Nice bowl - thick or thin! You have to turn them the way you see them!!

[Rich Aldrich]

Ken, I like the form - it reminds me of the hull of Noah's ark. The wood is really interesting.

[Mike Willeson]

That's a great looking bowl Ken. Speaking of photography....your turnings always have interesting and natural looking backgrounds. What kind of setup and backgrounds do you use?

[Ken Hill]

Employed here is 1 stool, 1 chair, 1 camo shirt that happened to be draped over the back of said chair, and 1 narly chunk of wood

Very nice, love the color contrast, and thick looks good on NE pieces, gives you that much more bark to look at.
