Wow Charlie.............you are getting some mileage out of that Bradford Pear lately............this is a nice piece! Will you do any additional finishing on it? Nice form!

Great form, Charlie!
no, i am in the non-shiny camp, one coat of velvit oil, let stand 10-15 minutes, wipe excess offWill you do any additional finishing on it?
thanks Roger and Harvey for your comments
Really nice piece Charlie. She is going to love it.

Sweet shape Charlie. I have some osage I want to use for some hollowforms and I think this might be a nice one to try.
thanks for your comments , Bernie and Baxter
Nice form on this Charlie! Reminds me of a pot from the 18th and 19th centuries. Pretty wood! I am sure your sister is going to be thrilled to receive it! Thanks for sharing!

My first impression is of a pleasing and functional form! I can see your sister using that for quilting - perhaps storing bits of fabric in it while she quilts.

Thomas, yes the velvit oil had been applied, one fairly heavy coat, let sit 10 minutes then wipe excess off. i expect the form to darken with time, at least cherry does with the velvit oil. the bp starts out much lighter than cherry so i do not expect it to every turn as dark as cherry.Had the velvit oil been applied in the photo?
Yes, Jon most of these southwest forms have large openings and pleasing curves. the forms were functional and decorational .My first impression is of a pleasing and functional form! I can see your sister using that for quilting - perhaps storing bits of fabric in it while she quilts.
yes Steve, most of the forms in the book are from the 1950, 1960, and like 1100 AD.Reminds me of a pot from the 18th and 19th centuries. Pretty wood!
