Walnut hf with some spalting in the sapwood. Just couldn't make myself turn that sapwood wood away. 7"x6" (10.5" tall with walnut finial). Has 8 coats of gloss poly, 3-wheel buffed.
Peter, you stole my word. A stunning piece for sure. Bill, your finish is always so nice and smooth. And what you did with the turning is fantastic. Well done. 8^)
