    I think I have a great idea who my SS is. Haven't gotten it yet, but the USPS shows it coming from North Haven, Conn and shipped on the 14th. Thanks so much for whatever you sent, I will be happy. We will just have a late CHRISTMAS in Dixie.

    Thank you, Brad!

    It is definitely hickory but i don't know which type. Its not shag bark. Its a tree that uprooted a couple years ago on the neighbor's ground where i cut.
    Heres a pic of another bowl blank from the same tree

    Would pignut have a very smooth (dark slate gray) bark with "x's" when young?

    The tree that the bowl blanks were made from was about 20" and the outer most layer of the bark was bright silver

    Hey, we waited until after Christmas! Only thing "official" going on in this thread now will be an occasional "hey, my stuff finally showed up!" (or not, as the case may be this year :headbang::hair:)
