TRUN #1

6.5" total height, 5" total width of legs. Hope the legs (there are 3 of them)don't offend as they are not turned. The body and top are weeping willow prunings. Legs, finial and leg supports are poplar. Chatter work is with a home made grinding wheel dresser. Finished with danish oil and poly. Could use some help with the name, any suggestions?

I'd call it good looking.

good looking piece. That willow is such a pretty wood. I'm always surprised that more turners don't use willow. Don't even see a lot of willow being offered. Might have to go hunt some down. 8-)

Ruining lots of good wood to get a few average bits.

Thanks gents. Actually it seems we are all gents however, I know a few female turners. Maybe we are to macho.
Leo your name comes close, exept for "pot". A combo of tri and urn could become "trun". You will see a few more trun's in this series.

Actually, there are lots of female turners and many are excellent - Bonnie Klein, Cindy Drozda, Lynn Yamaguchi, etc. The woodturning club in Washington had a number of women turners and carvers - they bring a different perspective to the craft.

Meanwhile, I like the legs even though they're not turned . . . who cares?
