very nice, watch out Ken, the oak dust may be what your wife is allergic to

Crotches make the best bowls. Looks like you have some nice stuff to work with. Agree with Charlie that oak is likely the culprit with your wife's allergy.

Im not too concerned about the wood and the wife. Its possible but the doc we talked to seems to think broncitis due to the color of her mucus discharge and continuing dry cough. He said her exposure could have triggered the onset but thats about it

Stunning piece of wood. You're the fastest turner I know. You went from tree to bowl in the same day.

That wood is beautiful Ken. Really a nice bunch of wood and the bowl is beautiful.

Thanks, its not sanded ofcourse and just wet down with some water to show the grain. Its sealed now and on the drying rack. I will turn the rest tomorrow. I should have gotten 3 or 4 done today but tending to the wife cut into turning time.

Ken after looking at that bowl, i think i better get them white oak crotch's off the floor and do something with them.I've turned down so much oak it ain't even funny.looking out my shop window i can see at least 6 big white oaks with some nice big crotchs just begging to leave my woods.

As you can tell I have a TON of oak here, I love turning it haha. I prefer it over hickory and walnut. Its boring if it doesnt have something inside but its beautiful when you find the right piece!
Member
Beautiful stuff, Ken! I've always resisted turning oak, but a little recent playing around with the stuff may have changed my perspective a bit. Seeing your bowl has pushed me even closer to turning more of it.

David, i cut out a few pieces for someone to do a HF with. It should have some good grain in it. If a piece of crotch will only allow me to get one blank due to the pith, I then cut between the piths to salvage the rest of that grain!

Beautiful bowl Ken! Hope the rest of your harvest has grain like this one!
Hope your wife is feeling better!!

I doubt im all that fast, although since posting the pic at 6:23, I have loaded a cord of wood in the trailer, delivered it, unloaded it and came home and now have rough out #2 done. There is 24 hours in a day, I try to use them all LOL!Originally Posted by Faust M. Ruggiero

That's a knockout for sure.
