Dimensions: 3.25"diameter From the same log as Mulberry Lace and others. This was a lesson on turning a sphere, which is much harder than you would think. Your eye has a hard time seeing a perfect sphere. This was another webcam project. I left this piece heavy so it could be used...

Mulberry. 3.25" wide by 4.75" tall. This is a rustic piece, as opposed to Mulberry Lace's delicate appearance. I turned the vessel to about .25" thick. This pieced was worked, for the majority of the detailing, live on my webcam. People from all over the planet watched me...

White Mulberry. The piece measures 4"x2.5" and is less than 2mm thick down to the bottom 1". It has a mineral oil finish, nothing more. It was a fun one to turn.
