    A Couple of Pecan Hollow Forms

    Here are a couple of Pecan Hollow forms I finished up.

    The first one is 11-1?2" x 3-1/2" and is finished with watco and beall buffed. This is some wood I got from Travis when we went to his house a couple months ago.

    The second one is also from Travis and this one I wasn't to sure it would make it because it warped so bad during the drying process. It finished out at 13-1/2" x 3-1/2" and has gel poly and was beall buffed. This is the first time I have used the burner I got from Travis and only did the top edge. There is one spot in the HF that is 3/16" but most of it is 1/8" or thinner (except the foot).

    I had to sand some of the wood away because it was a knife edge and someone (mainly Me) would get hurt on the edge.

    I think the finish I put on the second HF double the weight of it.

    Thanks for looking.

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Beautiful work, Dick. It still amazes me that you guys can turn a piece of wood like that. Hollowing that form out with 1/8" walls would be tough enough, but doing so on a piece of wood with a gaping hole in the side would be a recipe for disaster in my hands.
