Wormy Red Bud

[mike fuson]

This was actually a burl but not anything much going on in the wood. Measures 7 x 3. Thanks for looking.

Actually has quite a bit going on. Very nicely done!

Uh huh...and the Space Shuttle is just another airplane. Great shape to show off that chunk!

[John Keeton]

Mike, there may not be a lot of burl figure, but this piece has some wonderful character!! Great piece - and, all in one piece, too!! I am surprised you didn't cut it up and glue it back together just to stay in practice!:D:D

Mike,
I'm not sure what piece you are looking at but the piece in your pictures looks great! Lots of character and colors going on. Nothing to be ashamed about in my book!

[Jeff Fagen]

I need to cut down a large red bud in my moms yard and it is full of burls.Now I know what to expect.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Great piece Mike. I'll bet sanding that interior was a challenge!

Jeepers Mike, I almost didn't look at this, beacuse of your text..You didn't seem happy with it, so I almost didn't wait for the 2 minutes it took to download..Glad I didn't believe you & waited. I'm amazed it held together. It's a wild piece of wood.

Very nice, indeeed not much going on.

[Steve Schlumpf]

I like it! Great natural form, lots of character and a certain 'WOW' factor! Nice work Mike! Thanks for sharing!

Mike,

I always like your pieces. They are always well proportioned and always seem to have a wonderful "Organic" feel. Well done.

Very nice. Love that wormy wood-lots of character in this piece.

[mike fuson]

Thanks for the comments. I didn't mean that the wood didn't have any charactor, just that it didn't have any of the ''burl swirl'' going on in it.

[Roland Martin]

I guess this piece doesn't need swirl, there's plenty going on in there. This is a great turning, Mike, well done. You are a brave man!!:eek:
