inherited this unwieldly oak burl from fellow turner/friend about 4 years ago. continually contemplated where/how to start with it. Inspired by another club member who had a similar piece I finally dove it. I hate roughing out, but everyone of the felt like roughing from start to finish but I am please with the result. very surprise it held together. I have three other pieces from it, the last of which just came off the lathe.
