    You could use it as a large ring caddy Dave , it certainly is a very good way to present a piece of nature and it's wondrous shapes, well done, and thanks for helping God and showing it .
    Have fun and take care

    Excellent David! The one thing I enjoy more than anything else when it comes to seeing turnings by others is their use of imagination! This is a great piece and the way you displayed the merging of the natural forms lets us all admire a natural work of art! Thanks for sharing!
