Small HF from a huge root that took me a week to hand dig out from in front of the house. Figured after that much work I BETTER get something out of it. There was a lot of color showing on what I chose to be the top with nothing but yellow wood on the side chosen to be the bottom. Well sure, as soon as I had the outside done all kinds of color and a nice little void was now showing on the bottom. Guess that root had the last laugh! 4 X 7 and finished with water base poly and buffed...Bill...

Nice work, and Bill, you could always display it upside down!!

Very nice work Bill. That must have been a heck of a tree to get a root that size to turn.

Just great-isn't that always the case, you get into the wood and something new shows up. Really nice piece.

Hi Bill, do you have a brand name for the water based poly you used.

Bill,
Great looking piece. Form and finish are excellent. The accent collar also adds an element to the hollow form I really like. Well done!
Regards, Ken

I'd say you got the best of the wood, Bill. That is a really nice form, and some beautiful wood. And some beautiful turnings are meant to be picked up, handled and turned over.Originally Posted by William Bolen
