Now here's a 14" x 5" piece of cherry with some history to it. Dave Lancaster and I fetched it (along with a bunch of others) on a log run to Pennsylvania last spring. I then picked it up from Dave one Saturday morning last June and took it to my chapter's meeting where Al Stirt roughed it and demo'd some carving techniques on it. At the end of the day he gave it back to me to give back to Lancaster, who said, "Nope, it's got blemishes on it now." So I brought it home and completed the turning on it which sadly removed Al's "blemishes".
But here's the thing to consider. It took all of us just to prep it so Chrystine could complete it.

Here are some pics of the trip to Pennsylvania.
And here are some pics of Al doing his demo on the piece.
