Challenge bowl of Pecan

Same bowl as other pics. I decided I did not like the other pics so I played around with the camera and back grounds a bit. Is this better. I think it shows the real color of the bowl much better.

Looks good, Philip. That reverse curve inside the rim is one of the hardest things to get a good surface on, and I can see you did a great job.

Philip, is this wood Southern Pecan or Western Pecan? I like the color, but the Pecan around here sure is not that color.

Came from groves in Albany GA and it will look like this if you leave it sit out in the elements for a lot of years some of this wood spent several months on the ground as well before I moved it to a rack out side my shed I had dwon there and eventually moved it into the shed. If you look through my gallery you will see several pecan pieces and you'll notice that the one triangle piece is really a creamy color, that piece was protected and sealed indoors for several years before being turned.

Next time I see some Pecan down I will get it, but I may not be able to wait that long to turn it.

If you get enough of it, it should be no problem waiting. That was my situation, I got a whole bunch of it when a friend had an extremely large tree cut down by the power company in her back yard.

Great looking bowl Philip. I'm glad you posted the side view also. Without it I would have guessed the rim was flat. I really like the shape.

Hi,
Nice shape, the grain doesnt detract from the rings, good balance.
