I am limited in my shop time due to home renovations but here are a few things I worked on the last few months.
Both of the stoppers are too big, but I am beginning to learn scale. The burly one came from a piece3 of wood I actually pulled out of the woodstove this winter. Thought twicw after I tossed it in. The apple stopper came from a branch that came down in the yard last month.

This little bowl came from an ash branch that came down last fall. One of the dead ashes in the yard is covered with little burls, but my wife won't let me remove it myself due to proximity to the house and electrical wires, so I just wait for them to fall from the sky. Unfortunately by that point in time they are pretty punky.

I found this piece of maple at Rockler, and I think it was mispriced at $2.20. It is just about 8" in diammeter. The recess was a little deeper than it needed to be, so the bottom turned out a little funky. All in all I am pretty happy with it
