I took a rough-out bowl from the Stonewall Jackson Prayer tree [350+ year old white oak] that I had roughed out back the last part of August.........from a burl the lady who owned the tree wanted something made from it.
It stopped losing weight this week so I felt it was ready to re-visit and turn into a bowl for her. when I got it open, I found cracks galore and punky wood........of course I knew they were there, but the DNA soak and the bag drying really caused them to open up.
