… plus a cedar tree. Left to right: green ash, honey locust (with a knot hole I wasn’t expecting), and two red cedar.
I left the big red cedar in the back unfinished so the aroma wouldn’t be covered up.
I’m building up my stock for the holiday season. Left to right: spalted maple, flame boxelder, and buckthorn.
Another rough-turned bowl I finished recently. 11 inches diameter, 3 inches high, with some nice crotch figure.
Is it any wonder that black walnut is one of my favorites?
Again, this is the bare wood. Pecan is another wood that is lovely to work with and gives lovely results (provided you keep your tools sharp and don’t rush the sanding process).
Keep in mind that this is bare wood. No finish has been applied yet; this black walnut has just been sanded to 400 grit.
And that, my friends, is why I love working with black walnut.
A black walnut salad/fruit bowl I recently completed. 12 3/4 inches diameter, 4 inches high. Walnut oil finish.
A friend gave me a chunk of big leaf maple a while ago, and I finally decided to see what was inside. It was worth the effort: curl, burl, and a big bark inclusion in one ten inch platter.
Two green ash and one black walnut.
Here’s a better look at the black walnut one.
I have to make a few more in a variety of sizes, and then I’ll get them listed in my store.
A small pecan hollow form I made this weekend. Beautiful grain and color in this wood.
4 1/4″ high. Friction polish finish.
