Honduras Rosewood Burl Round Bottom Box

I found a new wood supplier, so time to tap into the ultra cool pieces! This really striking piece of Honduras Rosewood burl (Dalbergia Stevensonii) has a cool sap element to it and has great burl eyes as well. It sports my signature round bottom styling, slightly undercut domed lid, and a subtle flair near the rim. Turned, hollowed and finished with buffed wax and gloss lacquer. Size is 1 3/4" tall x 2 1/8" diameter. Keep an eye out for more, my swap box may be one of these new, unique pieces!!
Yes, I know, but I don't really use bowl blanks so he supplies just what I am looking for, nice spindle blanks!
 
Thank you all for the super kind words! This wood sure seemed like a success with the record amount of 👍 !
