Lady Luck was smiling upon me at the last AAW meeting and I walked away with nice little Hackberry log from the raffle. I’ve been itching to see how the wood turns and what the grain would look like and fortunately Raymond invited me over and we were able to knock out two natural edge bowls.
The hackberry turned smooth as butter, the grain lines are a creamy caramel against a milky white wood. It turned ribbons like a green wood should, and while he finished his bowl much quicker than myself, I still consider it a darn good outcome and after some drying, sanding and polishing, it’ll make a very nice piece. I’ll update the blog when it’s finished.
