New Box Elder Hollow Form

[Dick Parr]

Completed another HF, this is fun. Got his piece of Box Elder from Jim Ketron at the BBQ. The shape was OK until I decided to save the inclusion that was in the top of it and now I think the top is a bit to big. The more I look at it, the more I am starting to like it but.

It does have a little bit of curl in it. Finished up at 9-1/2" X 4-1/2" and is 1/8" thick. It is sanded to 600 grit and only buffed with the beall system.

Comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Hi Dick,
Very unique design and shape, and a nice warm finish. If I may, what are the black lines below the top??
Thanks for showing,
Bill.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The black lines sorta look like the rope burns that folks put on their pens sometimes. I like the idea. That wood just sparkles Dick. Nice looking!

Good one, Dick! Very nice piece of wood, and like what you did with it.

Thanks for the pics!

I like the wood. It has nice curl in it. The form just looks so unbalanced with the large rim on top. If you hold a piece of paper up to the picture and cover that rim, it looks much better. Just looks top heavy.

Wow that piece has some awesome curl.
keep them HF comming Dick!
