Well, been away a long while making lots of bowls and such to raise funds for an upcoming trip to Panama. But, I thought I'd throw this out for fun. A mahogany almond is what I'm gonna call this thing. There's someone on here that gets all the credit - sorry, I do not know who you are. But when I saw your odd-shaped turning, I had to give it a shot. Makes for a weird shape to turn and I just wished I'd thrown a couple ball bearings inside it so it could at least be a super-sized rattle!

So, here's my almond, a first attempt, made from african mahogany. It has some carving for embellishment and walnut stain, spray lacquer and buffed. I'll make a little three-legged stand for it later.
