My first . . . um . . . .

It started out to be my second goblet, but as I got into it I found voids. I couldn't tell how deep so I tried to incorporate them but it wasn't possible. So what started out to be a large goblet, ended up being a petite . . . . . um . . . . candle stand I guess. I need to make a base for it.

Have any of you turners started out to make something, but you had to make something else to save the wood?

Many times a blank tells ME what it wants to be!

I've learned to not argue about it...

I do not know what the he!! it is but it sure is a pretty one.

Can't use it for a carving mallet bigcat. Part of the upper stem has bark inclusion. This tree grew extremely funky. Funny thing no one has asked me the species. Is it that obvious?

Take a WAG. It's domestic. Gives fruit (nuts to be exact).

Mesquite??--Walnut.......

I like this one. The shape is really cool. I have to admit that I didn't have a close look, but my first impression was walnut. Am I wrong?
