Where the heck does loquat come from? Sounds kind of strange! But a nice little vessel turned from it.

Nice little NE hollow form David! Pretty wood - great looking finish! Never heard of this wood before - but then - I don't get out much!

Outstanding piece David. I love the bullseye in the second pic. I'm afraid I too have never heard of the wood but it sure is pretty!..Bill..

They grow all over Florida. Beautiful evergreen foliage and small but tasty fruit--taste like peaches a little bit. Cedar Waxwings love them and will strip a tree in one day as they pass through in the spring.

Neat wood, great form and finish. How small do you consider small, it looks to be a bit bigger than "small", but it could just be I have nothing to judge size against.
