Hackberry Block Hk-447
2.2" x 2.2" x 21.5"
2.4 lbs.

This is a long end-grain block of slightly spalted Texas Hackberry.  It has very pretty grain that is mostly straight to slightly curving.  There are occasional knots that swirl the grain. The colors are a cool gray-brown, with darker brown to black spalting features.

Hackberry is not a very hard wood and tends to be fibrous, so sharp tools are most effective.  Spalted, Hackberry can be a beautiful wood and is well suited for decorative turnings. However, I recommend that you do not choose Hackberry for any projects requiring heavy use (such as utility bowls, knife handles, game calls, etc.) unless you have plans on some type of "hardening" procedure. I also recommend that you take light cuts with sharp tools to avoid the tear-out problems common with spalted woods. 

This blank does have some minor drying cracks that you will likely want to fill or reinforce with CA glue prior to turning.  This is a GREEN to partially air-dried bowl blank, meaning that it still retains a lot of its original moisture from when it was a living tree.  It has been well-sealed on end-grain surfaces with Anchor Seal and is in the process of slowly drying.   It has been heat-treated to eliminate any gnawing critters.   It was measured at ~25% MC in May 2022.  If you need a current moisture content, please message us and we'll check its status for you. 

Please scroll through the photos to see all of them, if you wish -- there are more than the 3 that first display on the page. 


About the Tree

This Texas-grown Hackberry tree was removed from a Brangus cattle ranch in Pattison, Texas in 2021.  Hackberry is a common fenceline tree in Texas, and it tends to disrupt the fence as it grows.  This particular tree was removed by the rancher when it interfered with his fenceline.  It was saved from the rancher's burn pile and carefully sealed and dried.  It was milled in early 2022, and it is now ready for a trip to your shop for the next stage in its life.  We hope you will turn it into a cherished keepsake.

Poor quality control - maybe outlet store leftovers
Size: 11.5, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
The two shoes were not the same size. They were both labeled 11 1/2 but one shoe was larger than the other and the fit was poor. I returned the first pair and ordered a replacement. This time the shoes were close to the same size but too loose and the left one has sewing issues. I've bought Johnston & Murphy for years because of the quality. These were to replace an existing pair of burgundy penny loafers that have finally worn out (even after several heal/sole replacements). That is the expected quality. I suspect Nashville Shoe Warehouse may be handling shoes that didn't measure up for the quality; more like an outlet mall than getting the J&M quality I've come to expect. Update: went to Johnston & Murphy site to buy "direct" from the manufacturer. There were several recent reviews where the shoes were long and didn't fit properly. Genesco - please step up the manufacture / crafting of these classic shoes to the level of quality they used to have.

I usually wear 11.5's, but I buy 1/2 size smaller to accommodate for stretch. Leather relaxes.
Size: 11, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
5 STARS: These shoes are awesome. I keep coming back for more. I have major foot problems, have tried all kinds of shoes, orthotics, and inserts... but believe it or not, these shoes work better than any of that stuff. I wear them daily. I buy lots of them, for home, for church, and I'm getting my first pair of J&M boots today, for winters in Indiana... Brrrr

Way too narrow
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Burgundy Polished Full Grain
I ordered a wide in this shoe, but it was still way too narrow. I had to return them. Otherwise, it looked like a nice quality shoe.
