This is from a piece of fruit cherry, Lambert I think, that had a punky dead branch imbedded in the wood. I tried all kinds of things to stabilize the punky wood but it still just crumbled out. So I decided to use the rough crumbled area as an "enhancement" and just left it rough. The punky area is soaked with CA and then it was finished with Danish Oil. 6" x 6"

Nicely enhanced!
You have been putting out a bunch of great pieces lately!

Curt, your starting to tick me off. I'm sitting here at work instead of turning, and I'm seeing these pieces wishing I was in the garage right now turning my own pieces. Your stuff always looks so good. Do you ever screw up a piece, or have one not come out great?
Be a mentor, it's so much more fun throwing someone else into the vortex, than swirling it alone!

Beautiful piece Curt. I've got some maple items roughed out that may end up with some 'enhancements'. Hopefully they turn out as nicely as yours did.

Nice capture of what could have been firewood, Curt. Sometimes, the worst prospect looks best, doesn't it? Just takes a little faith and perseverance (OK, maybe a lot of each).
