These are a couple weed pots I turned out of a dead plum tree I cut down and tossed in a pile for firewood before I picked up the lathe. I think this is a much better use for the wood.
I love the subtle color variations in plum. I turned a pen with plum yesterday for a customer. Beautiful stuff. You are most correct, these weed pots are a much better use for such pretty wood. 8-)
Thanks. They're fun and the thing I kind of think is odd is how much people like them and there is not much to turning them. You can just let yourself go with the shapes.
Live long, love lots, and turn fast.
