Big Black Cherry

Made this from a large black cherry tree that blew down on my neighbors property last year. 33" tall. Largest thing I've done yet and won't do another this size unless I get a bigger lathe than my current Jet 1642. Pushed too many limits that I don't want to repeat but, wanted to see if I could. Polyurethane clear coat finish.

Thanks Michael. It was a challenge for sure. I was managing bedway real estate in small increments and with all the deep hollowing gear setup at the end it was close. Too close.

Thanks Darryn. I typically like to stand pieces up on my bench and step back to take a look a few times before I consider the curve and shape correct. Not an easy task with this one.
