March 1, 201214 yr comment_33088 It's been a while since I've posted anything, but here is one project I feel is worthy of sharing. I finally got around to buffing out a little Hackberry bowl a few days ago. I finished turning it back on the 14th of this month but with all of the humidity, I had to allow some extra time for the Teak Oil finish to dry. The wood is Hackberry and measurments are just over 6" wide at the top and 1-1/4" deep. This piece has some fiddleback, spalting, and a nice bullseye which gives it some additional character.    Report

March 1, 201214 yr comment_33092 That is one nice looking bowl. I love the grain pattern and the highlights of it. I got a couple of pieces of hackberry a few months back. I got to get some of it in the shop and give it a turn. Did the teak oil give it the darker color as hackberry is normally pretty white?Very nice finish.

March 2, 201214 yr Author comment_33090 thanks all. John M... The teak oil will warm about anything up, but there is a lot going on there. I cut the wood about 4 years ago and threw it behind my shed for a year or so to spalt. I slabbed it out and the wood sat waxed for another year. This particular blank was roughed out last year and re-turned to this final piece this month.  The un-turned wood I have left is more yellow than the typical white. Report
