Maple Burl Vase

3-1/4" diam x 5" tall
finish - 4 coats tung oil.
Nerve wrecking waiting for the whole top or side to blow out because of the bark inclusion.

That does look like a real breath-holder. Beautiful outcome, though.

Very nice piece...I'm starting to really like those "natural holes" in turnings

Very nicely done. I love turning pieces with inclusions and voids but you have to accept that you are going to lose some of them. Glad this one held together for you.
