Sweet!
Hoats are on my bucket list, but I have not had the right blank yet. Of course I would need to do some setup first.

Very nice Hat! I really want to try one once I find the right piece of wood.
I may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

Steve: this was not my first hat, I have made several (a few of them came out OK). I have made a smaller version only once (as a demo).Originally Posted by Steve Huffman

Perfect as usual--heard you dropped one at home?

WOW! Dennis, you have done yourself PROUD!

Very nice Dennis. I commend you on keeping this piece together with the knots so close to the outer rim...that had to be a nail biter putting it in the bending rack!
I like the bee design...is there a significance to it...or just something you wanted to add?
Member
Not only do I not have the right blank, but I don't have the right tools or the right skill set. Very nice hat!
Member
Wow I am amazed !

Very well done Dennis, another for my bucket list.
