This started out to be an enclosed form but didn't quite
make it..the wood decided that it wanted to go this way instead,
sorta simi enclosed form/bowl. Rescued this from a stump out
in front of our plant. The picture of the bottom was fuzzy so
will have to retake it, my photo skills are lacking to say the least!
Eucalyptus finished with EEE polish and Shellac.

Man, if that is a save, I'd love to see one that you think worked out OK :eek:

Super nice work, great wood, and a wonderful finish..............

OK, I just checked the clock, 4:25 AM, I guess I can't head down to the Dungeon for another few hours, might as well sleep some......

I like the shape and the wood is amazing. That grain has no idea which way to go! Came out great - sometimes the wood knows best!
