Project Information
Spectacularly spalted Pecan bowl, 6" diameter and 3-1/4" high. It's got a coat of wipe-on poly.
It had been roughed out and sitting in the stack-o-bowls for years and years. This really dry Pecan, though spalted, was still pretty dang hard! Even so, I was able to make good cuts with freshly sharpened tools. And finally I sanded the fool out of it with the right angle drill and sanding mandrels.
It was good to get out in the shop and make something even though it was hot as the dickens.
