This piece was turned from a crotch blank of what I think is Ash. I selected the orientation based on the the three different piths. It is very thin with a wall that is just under 1/8". It developed a crack in the neck while on the lathe. The pith on that part of the blank was orientated on a diagonal. I am not certain if I will revisit this piece but originally it was to have a threaded collar of mesquite or sapele and an ash lid and finial. I may follow through on that idea or trunicate it just below the crack or just leave it.
