Hackberry HF

[Travis Stinson]

I spent this weekend demoing for my Guild with my mini. This is one of the finished pieces. Endgrain Hackberry, turned like a dream. 5 1/2" tall by 4" diameter. Got the finish buffed yesterday.

This form has got to be my favorite of all the HF's. The way the sides flow down to the base is always pleasing to my eyes. Great job as always.

Travis;
I really like the hackberry colors, what tools did you use to to the hf, I have not tried one yet. You make me want to try it. Great Job.

Nice! The birthday boy has another winner for us. The hackberry is really beautiful in this format...outstanding, even!

[Dennis Peacock]

Very well executed Travis. You nailed this one as well. Very pretty!!!!!! :D

You did not ask for a critique so I guess that I can't tell you that the form is great and the wood is also. :)

[Bernie Weishapl]

Travis that is beautiful. I love the grain and form. Nice work.

[Neal Addy]

That is one sweet form and wood. Another beauty!

[Brett Baldwin]

That natural grain design really adds to the piece. The flow is great. Really nice piece Travis.

[Keith Burns]

Perfect form as always !!

Thanks everyone. Rex, I used the mini hollowing rig I made for my Jet mini. The original thread is here.

I've reworked it some, with a new laser mount and system.

Nice work! That is a gorgeous hf with some nice grain waves (ok, lame pun intended - I honestly hate puns though :D:D)! But really that wood is awesome as is the finish! What did you finish it with? Another great piece, Travis!!!

[Adam Howard]

Super job, Travis!

I like the form and finish on this piece very much! Interesting grain patterns, too.

Another spectacular success!
