    Pecan Bowl with a "Smile"

    This is a pecan bowl that has been finished with two coats of Minwax Antique Oil. It still needs to be buffed. This is a very dense and heavy bowl. It has a bark inclusion that looks like a smile in the side.
    What do you guys think?

    All the best.

    Don

    Very nice, how big? My wife says she'd give it room. That's high praise from her!

    Scott:
    Thanks and tell your wife thanks too. LOML has already picked out a spot for this one.
    It is about 9 1/2" by 4" high.

    All the best.

    Don - good looking bowl! I like how you have the rim slightly slanted inwards. Nice work!

    Makes me smile too!

    Don, That is a nice grin on the bowl! I have not turned any Pecan yet but some day! I was wondering on the picture with the window in the back ground the front of the bowl gets put in the shadow, do you use the flash for the pics? If not put the flash to the on position so it will fire all the time and see if that brightens up the front of the bowl. Or use a secondary light source to do the same. You could make a big reflector and direct some of the light from the window to the front also. So that is my only critique!

    Great job,

    Jeff
