    This mornings return

    8 1/4 x 7 x 3 1/4

    Hickory

    AO finish

    Took a bit of sanding due to how it warped but I am very satisfied with the final result.

    Man that hickory is spectacular. Beautiful shape on this as well.

    Yup, that is spectacular. It sure has some beautiful colors and contrast in the wood and bark.

    Nice work, again, Ken - and, you sure are making me long for some of that hickory. What I have seen here doesn't have that color. A HF from the heartwood (maybe a little sapwood on top?) would be sweet!!

    That is a beauty Ken. That hickory is really a pretty wood.
