    David that is a little beauty. That wood is really nice. What did you finish it with?

    Where the heck does loquat come from? Sounds kind of strange! But a nice little vessel turned from it.

    They grow all over Florida. Beautiful evergreen foliage and small but tasty fruit--taste like peaches a little bit. Cedar Waxwings love them and will strip a tree in one day as they pass through in the spring.

    Neat wood, great form and finish. How small do you consider small, it looks to be a bit bigger than "small", but it could just be I have nothing to judge size against.
