This Birch came from Kentucky after a tornade took out a bunch of trees close to my bro-in-law's house. I roughed this out a long time ago, but just recently got around to finishing it up. The wood spalted while sittin' in the shop.
It ended up 9" wide and 4" tall and I ended up branding the foot a little.
Comments welcomed.

Nice! I like the form and branding.

Very nice, is branding done with a specific tip on a woodburner?

Great form Mark! Beautiful wood - branding draws a little attention to the foot area and helps separate it from the rest of the HF. Very nice work!

Thanks Doug. I burn/brand with a homemade tool using wire that I bend to whatever shape tip I want.Originally Posted by Doug M Jones

Can you expound on this homemade tool? I would like to try some pyrography.

Pretty, pretty, pretty! What is it about spalted wood that draws my eye in and grabs me? I just love the stuff, and turning from it are my favorites.
