Elm HF

[Travis Stinson]

I'm about 85% sure this is Elm, it came from a bigtime blank exchange we did back in April. It ended up with some neat ray flecks similar to Sycamore. 9 1/2" diameter by 5" tall, buffed Antique oil finish.

Travis that is beautiful. I really like the form and finish. I do believe you are right on it being Elm. That is a awesome looking piece of wood.

That sure is a great looking piece. Looks like you dipped it in glass.

Nice form and the wood and finish are stunning! Well done Travis!

[JOHN VITOSKY]

Travis those specs sure do make it look like sycamore but the dark piths look like elm. eautiful work as always. What type antique oil do you use? I cant seem to find it anywhere here in SC

That's a cool piece very nice wood, as usual great work and finish.

[Mark Cothren]

Great piece, Travis! That finish is awesome.

[Pete Jordan]

Wonderful Travis!
How many coats of finish do you have on it?

[Curt Fuller]

That's a beauty Travis! That little rise at the opening looks great. That wood could just as easily be sycamore or elm, but it's pretty for sure.

[Sean Troy]

Man thats pretty !!

[Mike A. Smith]

Ditto from me, that is a beauty!

[Travis Stinson]

Thanks everyone. John, Pete I used 2 coats of Minwax Antique oil. I get mine locally at Ace Hardware. I've seen it listed on Rockler's website.

I don't care what kind of wood it is, I just know it's a winner. Great form and finish !!
