I decided to just 'play' in the shop recently and use up some scrap wood that was just laying around.
The first object is a combination of walnut and a chunk of flamed box elder.
I am not particularly fond of the finial but I wanted to incorporate a piece of the box elder. It was just too soft to turn real thin, even after applying ca glue to stabilize it while turning.
The second object is what I am calling an 'elevated cherry burl bowl'. The bowl part is a chunk from a much larger bowl blank that cracked during the drying process last winter. The base and stem are standard cherry.
