Again ... very nice piece of wood.

That doesn't look anything like the sycamore that I have laying around here!

I have turned a bunch of Sycamore and this one is very different----the curl is just to cool.

A LOT going on in that wood. Nice job. Have never gone that deep-are you using a captured system?

Nice piece, I've turn a couple of pieces of sycamore and it was very plain, straight grained. (Good for embellishment though). This piece does well by itself. nice job, Gary.

this is certainly a very special chunk of wood - love the curl and color contrasts. You did a bang up job with the finish as well.
