Nice inclusion, best type of HF to do, less shavings to clean out every minute or so. 7 1/4 x 5" tall.

Wonderful piece, Larry. Great form and the finish looks first rate. Don't you just love it when the shavings are self ejecting?

This is so cool, something I would NOT have tried, but you did it like a Pro and did it well as always... I'm sure someone will be try to talk you out of it... Nicely done.

Wizzy he is a pro! All I can add is WOW. Where did the wood come from Yak?

Thanks all, and Gnut that was just another of the pieces we got together, I just look at how a piece will best look after all the excess is turned away and sometimes it works out.

Great lines. Care to share your sanding protocol and finish? Inquiring minds want to know. 8)

I sand to 400 grit, then use sanding sealer. come back to it another day sand 400 then 600 either I then use white diamond and carnuba and buff. Or if lots of inclusions that cant be buffed I use wipe on poly and then knock down the finish a bit with steel wool. I am always playing with other finishes, but those are my most common

When I see pieces like this the first question that comes to mind is how it stayed together. It seems whenever I turn a piece of wood with a defect it blows apart. You certainly turned a beautiful piece, Larry. This is a winner!
