This was the biggest of the bunch and also the last of the big Osage. I had my doubts about even turning this blank with all the cracks and voids. The inlay stone is real Turquoise. She stands approx 14 inchs tall and is wiped down with a coat of Homebrew oil.

Hey Gary...Looks good with the turquoise...kinda lights it up a little bit. Did you curl up underneath the lip?

Yup---the trick is to get the thickness even on the lip, plus you have to match the curve at the same time.

yup...that's a tough curve. I've tried a couple. They can mistreat you in a hurry. Nice job!
