From Trash to Stash....pic

[Dennis Peacock]

Greetings..!!!!

Terry Quiram gave me a chunk of mahogany a few year back that came from the Catapiller plant where he works. It looked to be some kind of form or jig for a big machine part or somthing. Anyway....it's a glueup of mahogany pieces, I have Mark Cothren part of it and I kept the other and here's what I found inside that old beatup block of wood.

This is a totally new shape and style for me, but....the LOML has fallen in love with this "thang" and has it sitting on the headboard of our bed. :eek: :rolleyes: :D

Very Nice Dennis Looks like a staved turning mmmmmmmmmmmm would this be a segmented piece?:D Beautiful wood!

Hey Dennis that is a beautiful bowl. I like the form and finish. I am making mahogany salad bowl set. I hope they turn out as good as yours did.

I like the form too Dennis...And that wood...It's got a richness that begs to pick up. Nice piece!!:)

[Mark Cothren]

Yessir, that's a good one! Nice work, Dennis! I'll have to try something - maybe a box - with the chunk you gave me...

Good place to keep the chocolate... :D

Very nice piece, Dennis. Great color, too.

[Dennis Peacock]

Beautiful form and finish Dennis! Is that an endgrain bowl?......

Ken,

Yes...the way this was glued up and the way I mounted it, it is an endgrain bowl, and Yes, it took a while to sand it to where I was happy with it. :rolleyes: :D

[Dennis Peacock]

Good place to keep the chocolate... :D


Well Jim, you have to remember that I have 4 children and one of them is a soon-to-be-15-year-old who also needs the occassional chocolate satisfaction. Keeping the LOML's stash in that bowl, in the open? Wouldn't last 2 days around my house. :eek: :rolleyes: ;)

[Travis Stinson]

That's sweet Dennis. Great job on those walls.:cool:

[Keith Burns]

Very nice piece Dennis. Great form and finish. Amazing what you can find in an old block of wood.

[John Miliunas]

Wow, from tree giving oxygen to a jig in a factory to a gorgeous form! You've given that hunk 'o wood a third live!!! :) Great job, Dennis and I can easily see how the LOYL would put it in a place where she can enjoy it twice every single day! :) :cool:

[Frank Chaffee]

Way cool wow, Dennis.
