Cottonwood Natural Edge Hollow Form

This one is kind of interesting. It is a cross section of the trunk of a small cottonwood tree. Turned to final shape green, soaked in LDD for a week, then dried out and hand sanded. As it dried, it warped funny so that the bulls eye extended out like a bulging belly accentuating the egg shape. Finished with shellac.

Height is about seven inches tall by six inches wide.

I may have to keep this one.

Great job Robert, the warping had added a lot in this case. Very nice work

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