I turned this footed vessel from a piece of nicely spalted beech. It is 8.5" tall and 5.5" in diameter. I used a wood burner to create the texture on the banding. I like how the burned texture in the banding accentuates the spalting.

This was out of a hunk of somewhat punky maple burl, that developed a nice spalting. A bit soft, but it came out. Finished with shellac sealer, then several hand applied coats of Resisthane. About 6" in diameter and 5" high
I turned this originally about a month ago. Let it dry and just hated it. So, I put it back on the lathe with a glue block and completely reshaped it. I mistakenly picked up some Walnut Danish oil, so I used it here. Polished with Beall system. Green Curly Maple.
Big Leaf Maple, 5.5”d x 6.25”h
A fellow club member responded to an ad for free firewood and came back with two pickup truck loads of super curly maple. He was kind enough to drop off several chunks in my driveway while I was at work.
This is a hollow form of a unknown species of wood that is rotting so there are many holes. About 9 inches wide and 4 inches tall. Comments and critiques.
Thanks,
Sebastian
