Nice, George. You must be in the woods if you're turning these. Almost has to be fresh to keep the bark. Did you make a counterbore for a bit of lead in the bottom? One of the big problems for me is where my idea of light-looking overcomes the CG on the piece. Some sinkers and black epoxy will help.

Cherry's a good one for these as well.

Yup, in the woods. Cutting yellow birch for the hardwood floors. Going to do a handscraped plank flooring. Got 10+ cords of firewood and am rushing to get out the y birch before my skid trails break up and get muddy.
