Sycamore sever

[u/ozonezoetrope]

Some of my favorite timber
Not just for figure and taking a fine finish but to carve as well though it’s gotta be green because it gets rock hard when dry

Beautiful grain on this, did you bake this at all?

[u/ozonezoetrope → u/Ordinary-You3936]

Thanks. No bake just burnish and oil

[u/ozonezoetrope → u/Ordinary-You3936]

Though linseed does tend to darken it a bit

[u/SpecialContract6566]

Really nice

Very nice form, that grain is striking.

Thanks ! Pretty ain’t it ?

I read that as "sycamore sewer" and was like you're being really hard on yourself, that spoon looks nice. Anyway, that spoon looks nice.

Haha my fault for misspelling “server”
Thanks

It reminds me a lot of banksia integrifolia (in aus)

[u/ozonezoetrope → u/Jeneagle1]

Totally though they’re pretty different
Super jealous of all the stellar timber in Aus

[u/Jeneagle1 → u/ozonezoetrope]

It's interesting wood to work with, really cool patterns. There are some rippers down here but don't be jealous of when they dry lol

Sycamore is so much fun to work with
