Here is the 5th piece I have made this year. After healing up from carpal tunnel surgery, other projects have limited my turning time.
Last year I scored a large amount of spalted box elder and I recenty discovered that most of what is left is ....well.. gone to rot. This piece was titled "Almost Gone" and I was able to salvage it. It was very punky in some spots so after turning to shape the entire piece was drenched in CA glue! The outside ended up OK, but the inside is pretty rough. When it started shaking on the nub left on the bottom, it was declared done on the lathe.
Finished with 3 coarts of Tung Oil, beal buffed and Ren Wax.
3 1/2" wide and 7" tall.
Comments and Critiques are always welcome, thanks.
