I'm finding I really like to turn while leaving as much of nature in a piece as I can. This presents lots of challenges, not the least of which is sanding. A lot of hand sanding went into this piece but I like the outcome. My wife, well, it's still growing on her.
I do wish I knew what kind of wood this is. Much of what I turn comes from this property, but I can't find a tree that looks like this. I think the wood was here when we moved in, almost 30 years ago.
