Pignut Hickory shallow bowl - SDB777 - 08-16-2015
Had to do some yard work this morning, and the wife was still finishing the 'paint-the-chair- thing she had started....so I disappeared into the garage when I finished(I don't much like painting). Grabbed a chunk of the Pignut Hickory I milled last year off the shelf and came up with this one. The bark inclusions inside the heartwood were a pleasant surprise....it'll give the piece a lot of 'what-the-heck-is-that-hole-doing-there' conversations!
Finished with three coats of 'shine juice'. I might give it a once over with the rattle can lacquer, but I don't know yet?

Turned out nice. I have a bunch of standing shagbark hickory that I am dieing to turn. I can't wait for one of them to fall.

Thank came out really nice buddy.
I have never turned Hickory before and Oak is one thing I have been wanting to turn for a while. I seen Ellsworth turn a closed vessel with it and I really like how it came out.

Fall? Make it fall! Chainsaws are cheap, and you will always find a use for having one around.

I have a chainsaw. Just a little skeert of felling a big tree.

Big trees fall slower, not really....but it's what I tell the new guys at work
Cut the notch to 80% width of the tree(not to be read as 80% OF the tree), and then back cut 2 to 3 inches higher. Use wedge(s) if you are trying to 'force' the tree somewhere.
Thanks for the kudos everyone!
