This small bowl 8 inches by 4 inches is finished with polyurethane after it was rough turned , boiled a few hours and let to dry probably about a month before finishing. The wood is Tigre Caspi. Front and bottom view.

Glen: Hard to beleive but when I was about 20 years old I spent a lot of time in Nashville , Georgia working for the Larson Boat Company.

Jim, Larsen was a big deal around here. Nashville is still known as a boat town. Lots of people learned about working with fiberglass back then. Only you and I know how long ago that was. You will not believe Nashville has the same population it had at that time, and has changed very little. Good to hear from you. Are you related to any of the King family around these parts?

Glen: Not related to anyone there in Georgia, I am from Northern , Wisconsin.

Really wild! Love the grain and you did a good job of turning. Never seen this wood before, but hope to again.

Now that is some interesting wood, Jim! I like the bowl a lot, too!

Is that wood spalted, or is that the way it looks normally?

Mark , the whole tree looks like this, not spalted. Here is another peice I did some time ago 7 inches by 21 inches.

Gorgeous wood, Jim. I notice in your profile that you are a wood exporter. Do you export any of that wood, and where might I find some?

Very impressive pieces Jim. You are giving more creedence to the boiling method every day. Fellow creeker Robert Mickley also swears by it. Pretty cool.:)

Wow. That is some stunning wood, and some beautiful forms to go along with it. I still find it amazing that these "exotics" are turned into utilitarian items where you live, rather than display items.

There is a LOT of "candy" on Jim's site for sure!
