Hi All,
Hope the holiday season is treating you all well.
It's been a while since I Posted any of my work, I haven't had as much shop time as I'd like and I've spent much of it Rough turning items from some wood that I had gotten. I have been told that It was Oak, but I'm not so sure. Previously, the only Oak I ahd turned was Pin Oak. This was nothing like it, while I do understand Pin oak is a little dark etc. but I have seen a lot of oak turnings here(lookin at you Roger:)) some red, some white and so on.
The wood below. as you can see has none of the common "rays" and wasn't open grain. The dark wood in the middle is because of a long dead limb that was grown over, so I'm not sure we should think it's heartwood.
Size: 7.5" x 6 x 2.5" ...ish.
Finish: French Polish & Paste Wax (I wish there was less yellowing from the BLO in the Polish, will try WTF or shellac on the next)
248539 248540 248541 248542
I apologize for the bad Cell Photos, especially the side view, but wanted to show the profile. Photo setup is several items down on the wish list, I'll get there eventually.
C&C appreciated.
Thanks All...
