The honey locust piece was started by Ellis Walentine during Sophie's BBQ. I took it home and finished it Monday. Turned to finish thickness of 1/8", doused with alcohol to dry the surface before applying a coat of witch's brew. It looks a little dull do to the wood not being totally dry when the finish was applied. I don't expect much more movement as the piece dries.

Mr. Dave, what a piece. That must have put your nerves on edge when you were getting down to completing this beauty. It has more character than and figure than one can see with one eye, I guess that is why we have 2.

"Honey locust burl HF"...hmmm...I think you misspelled "NE".
Either that, or somebody changed the definitions on me again.
Very nice, regardless.

"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

A great piece of wood, Dave - love the natural edge! It's a very nice looking turning from where I'm sitting!

Dave,
Very pretty piece you have there. Excellent on the turning and I'm not so sure I would have had the nerve to turn it past about 1/2" thick. Beautiful Dave...very nice.
Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

Sure looks pretty, Dave. I bet that thing just floats when you pick it up.
