Wood type, dimensions, finish or other details, please.
Re: RE: Re: Mother's Day
Wood type unknown for the large heart. I bought this piece at a yard sale for $5.swampgator wrote:Wood type, dimensions, finish or other details, please.
It is roughly 7-1/2" round and 2-1/2" thick. The hole is 3-1/2".
The smaller heart is Black Palm. It is roughly 2" round and 3/4" thick. Both are finished with Tung Oil. Other than a couple coats on the small heart the big heart used almost the whole baby food jar. It was soaking it up. I probably coulda kept going but decided to stop.
I found a shape of heart that I liked then scanned and resized it on my printer.

Thanks for saying it's fancy. I'm worried that it's "plain". Let's see the bowl!oldiron wrote:Well, Mine isn't as fancy however, I made a Poplar salad bowl. Will try to post a picture tomorrow.

Looks like Walnut to me. Nice!!
I made mom Clams in white sauce with Linguini, her favorite, with a nice garden salad and a glass or 2 of Chardonnay.

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

I'm trying to get a picture of the bowl posted. Running into a problem with the photo sizer. Can't seem to get it smaller than 2.02gb.

I upload all my pics through Tapatalk. Worry and hassle free when I take the pic with my phone.
