This was a fun piece after joking with a friend. I told him he could do it on his mini, but he declined. I did use my Powermatic, but it balanced well enough that I could have used my mini. It is 8" D swing x 4 1/2H and 3/16" T wings. The Water Oak piece was limb section with 3 forks cut by tree trimmers and base was 1/4" longer at start. I would have liked to have about 2 or so more inches to do some more hollowing and shape the top more in flower style, but it was not there. Tripoli buff, oil/poly finish and then Renaissance wax.
