Back in April, JoeRebuild offered up this material to see what it would look like turned. I got it turned about a month or so ago, it's been drying and waiting for final sanding and finish. This was that thread to see before shots... http://woodbarter.com/showthread.php?tid=6439&highlight=wattle

Pretty interesting sheen to it, good reflectivity and chatoyance (like using that word) in the wood. Dense stuff, even hollowed down to about 3/16", this has some heft to it at 5 1/2" diam x 4 1/2" tall.

Finished with several coats of antique oil and Beall buffed, waxed with Renaissance Wax.
Thanks again Rob!

Tim - I loved it before and even more so now. Classic shape with a perfect profile and a beautiful finish. i also like the way the burl clusters land around the opening. :good2:
