This is a piece of sweetgum , I really don't care for the way this wood looks, just looks dirty to me, I'll let the rest of it spalt. It measures 6 1/2x 6 1/2. Seal coat and wax for the finish.

Very nice work Mike! I actually like the bland nature of the wood - allows us to view the form without having all sorts of figure competing for attention! Great form and soft finish - love the natural edge!

I like it Mike. I get that dirty look from time to time one my green wood when i use BLO. I didnt' notice it near as much with my home brew but i was told that what i was using would spoil on my wood.......... I sand a little more on those spots and hope for the best. Let them dry a while, sand and then finish. What do you think that rust/vinegar mix would do to gum ? Again, I like what you've got there.
I think it looks pretty good - I like the pureness of the light color, and the natural edge really adds to it.
i like your hf, nice form and great touch with the natural edge, i turned something that may have been sweet gum, and it was a pleasure to turn, the shaving come off great and almost did not need sanding. How was that hf to turn?????????
Pretty HF and NE rim on that one Mike.
Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

What a great shape, Mike! Sort of a compressed amphora look. I love it.

Mike, the proportions on that piece are spot on...it's wonderful. I actually think that the material works, too...it doesn't take your eye away from the exquisite form.

Beautiful Mike. I think the color and the shape really make the NE VERY beautiful. You are extremely talented.
