Hackberry Nightmare

9" wide by 2 1/2" tall. Gave me a fit turning it. Was intending to leave most of the bark on the outside, but the biggest part of it went flying when I touched the gouge to it. What I ended up with left me little wood to turn the inside. Pretty thin over the bark of the outside. Rest is pretty thick. Bark even cut into the edge of the rim on one side. There is a limb inclusion on the rim opposite the bark edge. At least it polished up nice. On the bottom there is a wolf starting to sneak up on something. One of my very few nightmares other than Chuck in his turning hat. Any comments or critiques wanted and welcomed.

I kind of like it generally. Hate that it is so irregular and heavy. I've been wanting to turn a bowl to toss my keys in at the door. May check to see if this one will fit in the space so I can get rid of the ceramic one that is there now. I just know that thing is going to break when I'm in a hurray some day. 8^)
