Redbud burl, Bradford Pear, Silver Maple, Gaboon Ebony, and Cat Greenbrier.

Ron Campbell's and Heather Marusiak's recent turn-cut-reassemble works gave me the idea for my flower's stem. David Sengel's thorned vessels inspired my little protector flowers. This was extremely challenging for me, and tested about every skill I've gained so far on this woodturning journey. 21.5" tall, 20" deep, and 12" wide. More info below.
