It made a strong bid for funnelhood, resulting in the bloodwood plug in the bottom, courtesy of Mr. Laser. (Lesson learned: the centering hole for the waste block doesn't need to be that deep.)

Nice one, Lee!

[John Hart]

Yup...that's pretty. The wood looks just like a spalted maple tree that I scrounged from a neighbor a couple years ago. Alas...that was before I knew what a lathe was for.:o

You sure have the form down nicely Lee.:)

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Lee, you did it this way on purpose...RIGHT? Looks to good to be a mistake.

[Michael Stafford]

Good save, Lee. I sure wish I had thought of that kind of a save technique. It sure would have reduced the funnels I have hanging from the rafters...;)

[Bernie Weishapl]

Nice save Lee. Looks mighty good. I like the contrasting woods. Nice job.

[Keith Burns]

Nice one Lee, nice save. Nice form.:) :)

[Stu Ablett in Tokyo Japan]

Don't tell anyone that was a save, tell them it was a design option :D

Nice!!

[Barry Stratton]

Dang Lee, even your "oops" are works of art! Well done.

[Vaughn McMillan]

Sweet piece of maple, and nice save on the bottom.
