Wormy Hoop Pine
Hello all. Not too sure about this one. Some old hoop pine that was attacked by a grub or two. It was left out in the weather a bit too long i think.
It's only had one coat of finishing oil, will get another 3-4.
Size approx 300X 290.
All comments welcome.

Nice work Festo.
Every time I turn thin material like that I lose the knots.
I think the shot on the right side looks a little like a portrait of ET.
I hope you show us the results after more oil.

Amazing colour coming through, that would have been a challenge keeping it together so well.

Beautiful work Peter
You must have been a bit worried it was all going to give way with those worm holes
I wasn't aware the hoop branches go all the way to the middle, I thought it was only Norfolk that did.
I might have some Norfolk, I could check sizes, but not with branch stems. Any use?Neil____________________________________________Every day presents an opportunity to learn something new

Thanks for all of the comments. I wasn't too sure if I could get away with all of the worm holes but it seems it works - sold it today so well pleased.

Yup.
I can see ET in the one on the right too.
What did you use to stabilize it while you turned it?Cliff.

Hello Cliff,
If memory serves me right it was an old dry piece that had been sitting around inside the shed. Didn't do anything to stabilize it just turned it. sanded it and the oiled it.
When i wet turn them they go through a series of plastic bags then paper bags then sanded. Being end-grain they tend not to warp too much so sanding isn't too much of a problem althought knots do tend to warp quite a bit.

Thanks.
I had some pieces of Kauri Pine that had been on the ground too long & they had some good/interesting stains from fungal attack & some spalt.
I found some of it was easy to turn & finish but I have one big bowl sitting in the shed at the roughed out stage but the punky bits tear out.
I have tried a few things to stablise it but have not yet finished it.... I decided that I had too much good, easy to turn timber to go back to it.
I really should try again.Cliff.
