What a difference 24 hours makes. Last night I started out with a chunk of California Pepper burl.

45 minutes later I had this finished piece, less than 1/4" thick, turned green to finish. Roughly 5" diameter and 5" tall, hollowed through a 1 1/8" hole.

24 hours later here's the same piece is the same orientation. The amount of movement in this wood is amazing, it probably rivals Madrone burl.

Alternate view. As you can probably tell I'm having a ton of fun with this stuff. Next I'm going to try and mold some of it as it dries, see if I can force it into a particular shape, hopefully without it cracking.

C&C welcome.
