    Robert - the pith is centered and all I did was turn it fairly thin and hit it with thin CA before I soaked the form in DNA. Once dry, never had another issue with it.

    Nice piece Steve. Glad to see thing getting a little BIGGER since you got your Beauty.
    I've turned over 150 pieces now centered on the pith with minimal problems, yet everyone still seems to think you must not turn a piece with the pith in it, go figure.

    Good looking piece Steve! Very nice wood and form. Don't envy you on all the sanding though!

    AAHhhhhhh, nice to see the lovely "warm glow" finish. (in my opinion it lets the wood speak) If Maria (yes the Maria) were still making her glorious pots, I think she'd look at your s & give it her approval.

    Steve that is nice work. I like the SW pottery design, I bet that would look nice with some design burned on it.

    Steve,

    That is a very nice jar. I like the form and the wood has plenty of interest. Well done.
