Ugly Florida Spalted Holly Burl
I bought a hunk of this stuff from Mr. Rebuild and turned a bowl for my buddy that did the wiring for the new lathe. It was tough to turn and gave me a lot of fits but I finally got it finished. This is some spectacular wood, Joe! Thanks again!!!!
About 2.5" tall X 8.5" wide. Finish is antique oil.

What do you mean by 'tough to turn'? In what way?

Thanks.

You would think by now I have made every single possible mistake there is to make, but I am pretty resourceful.

It dulled everything I touched to it at a record pace. I was sharpening about every 3 minutes and it was a cast iron b!tch to sand...LOL
