I called it Vortex only because Dizzy and Twisted were taken. I thought of calling it "the flush", but it sounded a bit rude.
Both Tom Lohman and Denny Edwards were very generous is answering my questions and providing advice. Denny's video was key in understanding how these are put together.
This one is made from shop scraps of maple, oak, mahogany and purple heart. Clearly, it could use some walnut or another dark wood for contrast.
There are 24 rings, each just under 3/16" thick. The overall size is 8.5" in diameter and 4.75" tall. The finish is a couple or three coats of lacquer based sanding sealer and as much pre-cat lacquer as was left in the rattle can.
