pecan

I live in the Houston area and have some pecan, oak, and hackberry stored under an open-sided lean-to off of my steel building. My son wanted a decent sized pecan limb for a small turning project of his. I had trimmed a pecan branch off of a tree that was hanging over our fence more than a year...

I acquired some pecan from a prominent potter here in NC - Ben Owen III. His grandfather planted the tree in the Seagrove community and I have been making a small collection of hollow forms from it. This piece was turned from an upper limb section so it still has the pith in it. The pieces...

May or may not be a problem. I'm turning a piece of pecan for a pen. I mixed up a batch of Trans Tint blue a while back, according to directions. I soaked a piece in the jar and it came out OK. The piece on the lathe has the TT brushed on. But the tint won't color the little pockets in the...

I tried to tint a piece of pecan with TransTint from Woodcraft. Soaket for quite a while. It did a good job and color seemed to be what I expected. However, there are little tiny streaks where the tint did not penetrate. I'm guessing it is the type of wood with a coarse grain. I do have...

This wood came from a tree we had to drop on our property - I have no idea what caused the crazy figure, but I like it. The largest is 2.5" tall.

This piece is for our clubs November President's Challenge which is a collaborative challenge. Stacie Grange and Bill Tilson teamed up to create this piece a couple of Saturdays ago. We wanted to incorporate coloring, inlay, off center turning, texturing, and carving. The inlays were done...

This is my first original carved design, and I owe a great big thanks to Ron Fleming for all his guidance

This piece is a natural edge vase turned end grain from a Pecan crotch having a slight twist in the branches. The wood was dry from curing in the shop for about 2 years. The bark remained in good condition but was stabilized. The vase was sanded to grade 400, with melamine sealer applied at...
