    Champagne bucket

    As it is very difficult for me with a digital to get a complete good photo of this piece I am posting three photos. This champagne bucket/cooler is 57 inches tall to the top of the finial and made of about 300 pieces. This is Pink Flame wood. One big insideout for the colum and a small one for the finial.

    That might be too good for champagne Jim! That's one big inside out turning in the pedestal. Very nice piece! I'd love to have access to the woods you do. What kind of lathe are you using?

    Where'd you get the miniature bottle of champagne Jim?

    An incredible piece. Out of the range of my thought processes, that's for sure. So...What are you going to do with it?

    Lathe type

    Ken: This was our lathe when we just built it. Now it looks a bit worse.
