"Turning over a new leaf"

New piece called "Turning over a new leaf. The piece is Tawa and Jarrah. It is about 350mm long and is off set turned to 8mm at the thick end and 3mm at the small end. The pieces of wood are leftovers from mutant two.

I must admit I nearly gave up on this piece as it went through a stage where I hated it but I'm glad I persevered and finished it.
Comments welcome.

A beautiful piece. Do you have another picture from a different angle? With just this pic it looks more like a carved piece instead of an offset turning.

Thanks for the extra pix; now I can see the off center work. Between the color and the texturing - both of which I really like - this really looks like it's carved until you turn it upside down.

An exceptional piece of work.
