A while back a tree guy stopped by my shop and dropped off a couple pretty ugly oak burls. Don't even know the guy. Couldn't even get a pen blank out of the first one, but managed to get this out of the other. The base is from the same piece, but from a different spot. Thought I was gong to loose her when a crack developed near the bottom, but she held together. No embellishments on this one. I really enjoy making these types of turnings and have a bunch more in the works. Your criticism is appreciated (good stuff too :-) )
Finished with Tung Oil and brought back with steel wool and Ren. wax. 5-/2" tall x 6" across. Inside photo below.
Thanks for looking, Don
