    EVIDENCE that I got this far

    My first try at this was several years ago on a piece of spalted oak. Suffice to say that it did NOT look like this in the end. More like a mangled starfish. This is ready for it's alcahol soak. I just wanted proof that I got this far.........just in case.....You never know. Pretty wood, Mr. Hart.

    My thanks to all of you for your kind words. Andy, I figure with four legs it ought to "stand up " to any flavor of ice cream.

    John, No red stain in the two I have done so far. The other was a smaller block and got a large spiral gouge in it as I started to part it off. Another for the reject pile. It will hold pencils.....

    I get skeered just looking at that thing. Did you cut the feet with a jigsaw after the initial hollowing out of the bottom?

    No jigsaw........just the lathe. You stay very aware of where your fingers are.
