Elm Crotch

[Steve Trauthwein]

This piece of wood was given to me by a friend. I was really struck by the grain when I turned, also please with the texturing. I thought at first the texturing might be too much with the grain of the wood but I think it kind of balances it. "Eye of the Storm"

Comments welcomed.

Regards, Steve

Steve that's awesome. The grain is outstanding (you did a great job of showing it off) and the rim treatment is superb.

Nice job Steve. The texturing sorta outlines the storm, and I think makes it stand out. Cool.
