Yellow Pine Bowl

This is from a piece of yellow pine that I have had in the shop for awhile. I have turned a couple of other piece from the wood of the same tree and have really liked the way it looks. The yellow pine has lots of pitch in it and is heavily spalted. It was first attacked by pine bark beetles and the got the spalting through their wholes. The bowl was turned thin so that the heavily pitched areas would be translucent. The bowl is 9 7/8"w x 3 1/4"h and is about 3/16" thick. I dipped it twice in my oil blend and the Beall buffed it. C&C welcomed

Nice form and I really like the color variations of the wood! Hope the knots don't check on you! Nice work!

It was the first piece I buffed. Won't be able to make chips fly until either Sunday night or Monday:mad:

Great color Steve and the translucence and finish are top notch.

I really like the bowl. Not easy to work with pitched pine.

Way to handle the pitch. Great form and color. You really brought it together in a beautiful piece.

great pine bowl!

This bowl is exceptional in every way. Love the shape and wood.
