Elm Burl Hollow Form on a ped. 10" wide, 17" tall. I am weak on my spindle turning and I don't really care for these to much. They are not glued yet so I can turn some new ones after more practice. A few before, during and after pics can be seen here...

I cleaned up the shop today and found a couple of Box Elder burl caps laying under one of the benches so off to the lathe I went... The HF is about 1 1/2 inches tall. I like the form but dont like the lip, its to big and to sharp of an angle into the transition, should of rounded it like I...

This is some Persimmon that was salvaged from storm damage over a year ago. It was a large, old tree that had been doing battle with worms for a long time. That's why it gave up the ghost during the storm winds. I turned the only solid piece of it I had right after I got it and gave it to the...
