Cheers! And thank you for stopping by!
This piece a jewel of nastiness every step of the way. Given how rotten the burl was, it required thin epoxy with an extended curing time in order to fill all of the gaps and saturate the wood. However, the longer the curing process, the greater the risk of losing color separation in the resin. I found this out the hard way after hoping for more distinct purples and golds in this one. The inside of the vase is not spectacular and rather rough, but it was necessary to leave some wall thickness given the fragility of the wood. I expect this piece is fairly sturdy, given all the stabilization that it needed. Anyway, life is a learning process, and nothing is perfect. But this piece will hopefully find a comfy spot in someone's home.

I did two electives of woodworking in high school, never followed through, my career went elsewhere. I have very fond memories of my lathe work. And I have a beautiful maple side table next to me as I speak, which I hand made with the lathe, routers, band and coping saws when I was 11 years old. I am 52 now. Superb piece of wood and turning here. Congratulations..

Unfortunately being disabled your income is limited and had to sell all my equipment just to keep the utilities on and food in my daughter's stomach. It was always very very relaxing and helped with keeping the depression away from not being able to work. At least I can still watch others beautiful works of art.

Beautiful piece. About ten years ago, I dug a basketball sized cherry root burl out of a neighbor's yard, when they had their cherry tree cut down. I had sealed it, and was waiting patiently for it to dry, and cure properly before working it. I left the area for a while, and my uncle went by the house to check on things, and saw this piece of wood, thought it would make a long burning piece of fire wood, and burned it. It was such a heart breaker. It was cool to see someone make something similar, and see it come to fruition. Makes it not quite as bad. Thanks
