Hickory Bowl

This is another piece of firewood (among many)that another neighbor gave me. Just couldn't resist turning some of it. This piece was given back to the neighbor for a thank you. They're buying a South Western style house soon, and I thought this might fit in somewhere. It's SO hard to burn anything that's wood!
9" wide by 4" tall. Finished with Tung Oil and Beall buffed.
Thanks for looking and all comments welcome, Don L.

Nice save Don. That hickory sure looks nice & that looks like a perfect shape for the southwest home.

You're undoubtedly a man with a lot of determination to turn out such beautiful pieces from hickory. I have tried two or three hickory burl-like growths from a tree I salvaged for lumber a few years ago. Gave up on all of them. I love hickory for flat work. Beautiful wood as you have demonstrated several times. But I don't have the staying power to turn it.

Thanks so much guys!
This piece did have some knots (that's why I picked it) with some cracks in them before I even started to turn it. CA glued them and they all held up just fine. It sure is hard wood, but some sharp tools and a steady rest (just in case) helped a lot.
Thanks again, Don L.
