This is the first time I have ever tried to turn a branch... In trying to find the right color for my customer's order... I thought this color might work instead of the walnut - I'll let you know, even though I already bought a Claro Walnut burl to fill the order, this might be better for them.
This is the second piece I hollowed with my new MONSTER - I LOVE IT!

Notice there is a bit of burl in this wood, I really like how it came out. They wanted a flat finish:
4 1/4 inches in diameter by 6 1/4 inches tall
Oil sanded to 600 and cloth burnished bee's wax with 800 beartex - Scotch-Brite pad.
