Hickory Table

Very nice looking table. Thank you for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Very nice. The turned legs look perfect. I have always liked the natural color variations of hickory and am glad to see just a natural finish.

Beautiful job! I really like hickory and the aroma when working with it. Your turnings look great, as does the top.

Very nice! Hickory doesn’t get enough attention, IMO.

Hi Jack;

That’s a great looking table! I’m with Charlie about the hickory.

Very impressive work, and design.

Nice work. You put a really nice profile on the turned legs

-- Shawn, I ask in order to learn

Very nice table. This is one for an heirloom given the timber’s weight, hardness and general strength. Also excellent grain effect; I like how you have worked round the various knots. How were the legs to turn given the timber’s characteristics? I have a load of hickory off-cuts in the workshop, which I’m planning to use for toy making. Thanks for letting us look at this piece.

Yes as hard and stringy Hickory is I am surprised to see table legs turned with it, so how hard was it, did you figure out any tricks? thanks for sharing.

Beautiful hickory. I assume you turned the legs yourself, great job all around. Very nice table.

Yes I turned the legs myself. This is the first time I have ever worked with Hickory. I love the looks and the characteristics of the wood. BUT I PROBABLY WILL NEVER WORK WITH IT AGAIN. HOLLY !$#%
This is some hard wood.. To answer your questions. NO I did not find any tricks on how to turn the legs. Execpt ALOT of man hours,and ALOT of scrap pieces laying on my shop floor. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR LOOKING…
