I really like the look of that piece, Tim.

Great looking. You did justice to that piece of wood. That lower right point looks pretty nasty when turning on your direction on the lathe.

Very cool, I'd be a little nervous about the hook too!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments, I tried to get the most of this burl thats the only reason for that pointed section. I did soften that a bit. This was a very quick picture, my web site is on the fritz so I've been turning instead of photo taking. The LOML is the photo person, I just turn them. The 5 part finish that I use on my cabinets as well as turnings is a trial and error of the past 5 years or so. It is very similar to sealacell. My finishes start with 220 grit then the first coat of oil. Wait a week , sand to 320 another coat of oil another week. Some of the vases and bowls have 6 coats on them and can take as long as 8 weeks to finish. All my cabinets have 5 coats of this oils/poly mix. I paid 1$ per inch for this burl $10.00 and I have 2 sources that I choose from. Thats something else I can post pictures of, my burls Gloat--Gloat. Thanks again,Tim.
VERY NICE! Don't you just love comming across those exceptonally beautiful pieces of wood like this one. Great use of it.
