    Walnut HF

    Mark Cothren gave me this nice big chunk of Walnut in April (Thanks again Mark ).


    I finished turning it this weekend. A little slipup while finishing inside the opening forced me to open it up a bit more and turn a separate Walnut collar for it that I dyed black . Buffed Antique oil finish,
    10" diameter by 10" tall.

    When I first read this thread I didn't see who the poster was,, my first thought "that's good enough to be from Travis...." I guess I was right

    Cool..

    Some great character in that one, Travis! Awesome as always!

    (If you have any scraps of that blank left, you might try a piece or two that features that sapwood at the top...the ice-cream cone effect!)
