    Red Mallee Splash

    This was from a nice little burl cap about 7" x 6-1/2" x 2-1/4". Turned as one piece. The color has NOT been adjusted with software.

    The wood gets all the credit here! I love me some Mallee.

    Originally titled "Desert Rose". Some have suggested "Lava Splash".

    Thanks for peekin'!

    1,372 miles south of Steve Schlumpf, 525 miles west of that Burns fellow.

    Never, under ANY circumstance, make the last cut!

    "Lava Splash" seems to fit it just right... whatever the name, it's a very nice turning. Congrats!

    Beautiful wood, form and finish Neil! Reminds me of a freeze-frame effect of something hitting the water. Very nicely done!

    That's a beautiful piece Neal.

    Desert rose sounds good, but I have to admit that when I read Lava Splash, I could SEE it.
