Post oak hollow form

[Dennis Ford]

I posted a picture of this piece fresh off the lathe a couple of weeks ago with some doubt that it would survive drying. It did survive! Only a couple of checks that closed back up, it did warp quite a bit as expected. I have had poor results with post oak in the past but tried anyway since the wood was interesting. This is the natural color (only pure tung oil was applied as a finish), darker than any post oak I had seen before.
Comments and critiques welcome.

very nice..I get the feeling it that it might be old iron that has rusted..and just dug up.
