    Spalted Pecan Bowl

    Here is the piece I cored out of that big spalted Pecan bowl from a few weeks ago.

    It looks just as pretty as the big one and again, Mickey has claimed this one for herself. The pictures don't do the piece of wood justice.

    It finished out at 11-1/4" x 3-1/2" and is only buffed, no other finish.

    Thanks for looking

    Another beauty Dick. Love the spalting on it. Form and finish are awesome. It is no wonder she jumped on that one. Great job.

    Very, very nice Dick! Besides some pretty spalting, isn't there a little curl in that piece too?

    Dick,

    That is one nice piece of wood and another excellent job you've done. All your work is "Top Shelf".

    I sure like that bowl Dick. Did this come from your home spalting laboratory behind your house?

    Thanks everyone,

    Chris I forgot to mention that this piece of wood came from Mark Cothren. Mark brought a bunch of spalted pecan to my place when he came. This is a piece I cored out of a bigger blank.

    Thanks again everyone for the nice comments.

    Very cool, Dick. The black lines and different shades of yellow and brown make it look like some type of antique map. I see why the boss put it in her private collection.

    Dick, this is another example of your turning skills. Great form and a great finish with a great piece of wood.
