a bowling pin. I decided to enter this contest for a number of reasons. The first is to show off my outstanding photography ineptitude, second to finally turn one of my bowling pins, third to see if I could successfully download pics from my cybershot to my new laptop. Gee, everything went well.
The bonker is 31/4" wide at the widest point and 8 3/4" tall. Sanded to 150, no finish. Take a look, if I can get the pics loaded.

Was that a real wood (i.e. very old) bowling pin? The newer ones have a 1/8" or so plastic outer layer that is an absolute pig to get off, and the wood underneath doesn't look all that exciting.
(A couple shots from a .45 will remove the plastic in large chunks, but it makes the wood even less inspiring from a woodworking standpoint. DAMHIKT.)
Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

Lee,
Don't think it's all that old, prolly a coupla years. It did have that plastic coating on but didn't present a big problem coming off. Reminded me of turning acrylic with all those spaghetti strands coming off.
The wood looks like some kind of maple, not sure if it's hard maple or not, but it is laminated.
