Went to my in-laws place in upstate NY over the holidays and came back with some interesting wood ............
got several turning blanks out of a large Red Oak log with 5 good size branches coming into it in one area and over the last few days have been working on turning some of them into various things
this is going to my brother in-law and his wife (the wood came from their farm) as a thank you

just under 11" in diameter and approx 2 1/2" deep sanded to 320 so far and Danish Oil applied as heavily as it would soak up to seal it.
comments and critiques are always welcome
thanks for looking
