My Uncle Dave Hunt would have turned cowboy hats out of that ! We have
three or so here and they are something else. Beautiful.

That sounds neat! Do the rims curve or are they straight?

You turn the hat Green and shape the rim as it dries. The hats fit the
head within a felt thickness - just fine - Company with the jigs had
specific calculations. Nice is the ones we have are all different wood
