Just wanted to post a couple of pics of the little bowl I made from the piece of Hickory in Donny's care package. Hit it with steel wool, white diamond and buffed ren wax. Simple form, but really nice looking wood!
I have never worked with this wood before and it has been pure delight. I will stare at those knots and beautiful chestnut coloring for hours. My "office" bookcases were made out of knotty pine and I buffed every dang knot in the room until it shines!!!!

ps- yes, I know there's a glare in the pics.... I dont care!!! You have to give me credit for putting the phone down and getting a real camera. Sometimes progress takes time.
