This is a piece of mulberry burl and is 5 ½”W x 3 ½”H. My inside is not as smooth, or has as even thickness as I would like, but this was my first experience with a piece having such a huge voids. C&C welcome

That'll never hold water!! J/K, I would imagine that was a challenge to turn, very nicely done!!

[Steve Schlumpf]

These are always fun because you don't have to stop the lathe to empty the shavings! Nice work!! Thanks for sharing!

Nicely done Steve. That should be a fairly easy sell.

Nicely done Steve. That should be a fairly easy sell.

That would make a really classy den for a reptile or hedgehog kept by a rich person. (I once hollowed out a piece with carving tools for a friend with a hedgehog.)

Steve, remember that it's not the destination, but the journey. A really nice piece.

Daryl, I can remember which woodturner it is, but below his name, he states, "If it can't hold soup, it must be art." :):)

Steve, I still have to blow the saving out, I wrapped it in shrink wrap before I started hollowing it out. Helps hold it together and keeps things from flying across the shop.

Wow! I admire your imagination to have envisioned a vessel form coming out of that hunk of burl.

Pretty sweet outcome Steve. Wish I could say the mulberry looks good too but there ain't none there!!!!!! Wow
