Spalted hackberry and ebonized pecan. 2 1/8" dia. x 4 1/4" high. The hackberry was from a large diameter log section given to me by a friend in my turning club. I don't think he realized what he had. :D
These pics may look familiar to some. They have previously been posted over in the "Other Things We Make" forum on the IAP site.

Does that mean this one isn't being given away with other ornaments for Hospice this week?
Hmmm, you may have to bring me a piece of that spalted hackberry to the Christmas party this weekend! Could that be your Dirty Santa exchange gift? ;)
Nice work, I like it alot.

Well like i thought I said yesterday, and must have not clicked on Post... that is a beautiful ornament. Spalted wood really shows off and the size shape and all, just right.

Thanks to all for the kind words.
Tim, I believe there's another small chunk of the hackberry in the shop. It's yours when I find it.
