Nothing special, just wanted to show some pretty wood.

Im not done turning and shaping yet,
but had to stop for a while, so i just got some tung oil on it to show color....i think its purdy.

That is one awesome piece of wood you have going. I love the form you have designed also.

Please be sure to show us the finished product when you are done.

Pete, saying a piece of Afzelia burl is nothing special is like saying a Harley is just a motorcycle. My second favorite burl (Amboyna is first), and that's gonna be one nice vase![;)]

thanks....
used drill bit in chuck on the tail stock.
drill press, hand drill will work just as good

for these small sizes (bud vase) all we need is a hole around 5" deep, 3/4 inch round, or a little less. I have some plastic test tubes i insert so folks can put water in to hold real flowers if they want. I trim down the tube to just stick out of the top, so folks can grab it .

LOL...... al right Billy let me rephrase the statement.
I did nothing special,mother nature did a great job.

Just wanted to show why from now on i will refere to Afzelia as "Billy's Wood".......[:D][:D]
