Like everything else, it seems, this one has a story too:
I had turned and hollowed this one with the other end up because I thought it would be more stable, safer (and easier) to hollow... It looked nice, but the "bottom" had more eyes and stuff, so I plugged up the hollowing hole with a spalted maple tenon and started working on the new "top." It's a little on the heavy side, but the bark made it pretty scary, so I let myself be satisfied with a win.
Diameter: 8 7/8 inches
Height: 4 1/2 inches
Finish: Oil sanded to 600 - water based poly

And I CAN handle the truth!
