This wood came from an old couple's yard. The man told me about the tree falling and said he thought it was a "Hackmore"...I thought maybe it would either be a Sycamore or a Hackberry, but when I got there discovered a Persimmon eat up with worms. I got one solid bowl out of it that I gave to them, and then started on this wormy piece.
I spent a few hours pickin' out worm "residue" from all these holes. Several times - in between cramps in the hands - I asked myself if it was worth it... it could have been better, but it could have been worse... howz that for a self-assessment...
7-1/2" wide, just shy of 3" tall, walls are 5/16" thick. I drowned it in BLO/TO and after it dried for a while I hand rubbed some wipe-on poly on and then polished by hand.
Can't decide if I like the dark or light background - so you get 'em both...
No soup outta this bowl - unless you eat fast!!!
