Got done my chores today and had some time left for the shop this weekend. This is some Mulberry scored from CL a few months back. Turned and sanded wet to 600, 1 coat of AO. The next sunny day I plan to take this out for some UV rays to darken the grain out, then complete drying and finish. Guess that makes this kind of a preview. C&C welcomed.

Mulberry HF 4"x7" with 35mm opening.

Looks really good Gary! Once the wood darkens a little - should highlight the grain really nice! Nice hollow form!

Beautiful wood, very nice form, and the piece has a certain "lift" to it. Great work, Gary!!
