There was a dark line on the wood when I started turning it which turned out to be a bark inclusion that in ran past the center. Once discovered I nearly tossed it in the burn pile. It was sitting on my bench when I thought what the heck this is a good piece to have fun with. The leather stitching is not holding anything together it is just decoration. The Bandaid is pyrography on a crack that developed when I left the piece sitting on my bench. I titled the piece "Owie".

The next piece is a first for me. I decided I wanted to to a collaboration with Mother Nature and took a couple of branches from a small decorative Maple tree in our back yard, glued them to the vase then added pyro flowers and humming birds.

Hope they make you smile.
