This is some beautiful wood and it has so many different looks and features that it was hard to capture all its beauty in just a few pictures I think I took over 15 pictures of this piece to pick a few out of the bunch that shows it off the best.
This piece is very light and only weighs a few oz has around 1/8 wall thickness. It measures 3 5/8" tall and 4 7/8" wide, wipe on gel poly for the finish and buffed on the Beall.
Critiques, suggestions, and opinions are appreciated and welcome!

Jim, that piece is absolutely astounding. You've captured the figure in that wood wonderfully. The sudden dichotomy of the change in color reminds me somewhat of the lunar surface, in that one side (the side facing Earth) is pocked and marred, whereas the other is quite smooth.
Lovely work.
