that's a gorgeous piece. how big is it?
I have an oak burl that had some occlusion but when I was turning it green the stuff started flying off. I eventually dug it all out and will fill the voids with epoxy before the second turn. I'm planning on working on that this spring.

Thanks crokett!
I can't remember exactly but approx. 8" L x 4" to 5" W x 3.5" deep. I'll measure it tonight.
I was afraid this one was going to fly off but it was pretty stable.

Yes.. thanks for posting. I think it looks totally excellent. That is a piece of Artwork !
Please let us know the finish that is on it and your process of applying the finish. I'd really like to know.

Thanks for the comments guys. Crokett, I forgot to measure it last night but will try to get dimensions tonight. The finishing schedule was pretty basic. I wiped on some BLO, let it dry for a few days and then sprayed about 10 coats of rattle can lacquer. Finished it up by buffing on the Beal buffing system.
