White Oak HF (after warping)

[Dennis Ford]

I posted freshly turned pictures of this HF last week.

It has stopped shrinking and is now finished with Wipe On Poly. The width shrank from 10" to 9-1/4" and the opening is obviously oval but there are no cracks. Comments and critiques welcome.

ps: An orange lid (Gator-Aid) is supporting the HF in one picture, it will not sit straight on its round bottom.

You will need to work on your story about the skills it takes to make the opening oval. It will be the first thing folks ask-----How did you do that??????

Real talent and real cool.

[charlie knighton]

very nice, like the oak, the knot does not appear to have cracked, its a keeper

Looks great Dennis! Very nice form and great job on the finish.
