I was given a piece of Pecan a couple of years ago that was 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" by 5' long. The person that gave me the wood stated, "Make me something." Soooo, since it has been several "years" since he gave it to me I dediced to make a turning for him. The wood was very dry and hard and had some spalting. ( I did wear a mask while turning and sanding ) The finish is Deft spray Lacquer.

Looks great Mr.Bill,did you also turn the finial(sp) if so what is the wood.

I turned some pecan a few years back and seemed to always find it had a lot of silica content and was tough on the tool edges,did you find that to be the case in this blank?

Sure glad to see The MASTER is back at it! Awesome job....shape, finish, material, everything is right on. How do you like that Deft finish??? How many coats? Sanding technique? Enquirering minds want to know...
