The sugar maple is 9 1/2" with a 6" clock face. This beautiful piece of wood is figured nicer than my photo skills demonstarte. It's about 1 1/4" thick. I turned this small piece from a cutoff of some 12/4 lumber I bought at a lumber auction. Finish is Danish oil buffed and then R/wax final.
Just for grins... I turned the jug from a solid red oak log laying on my woodpile. The top is made from an unkown tight grained exotic. Dimensions are about 10" to the top and about 6" across. Makes a very heavy doorstop if nothing else.
Not the eye-popping turnings so often posted on the Creek, but they are fun to make and share.
Cheers,
Terry
