What size is the hole in the top?


I have always thought Ash was under-rated....seems it is a pretty sweet timber!

Very nice vessel Colin! I've never seen or turned Ash before so your vessel makes me want to try it too! Very pretty and the grain makes your turning pop! Have a Merry Christmas and wonderful New Year! Safe turning to you too!

Ash is very under-rated. I've done several bowls and a few salt mills in ash; and I am always amazed at the grain pattern.

I'm with Ben...ash is really cool! This looks great! I'd have left the beads out, nice shape and finish...don't need 'em. What's the wall thickness Colin?

most of the "urban" ash I see is "Arizona" ash that have been planted in subdivisions and grown up over the years.

a few months ago, I had opportunity to cut down a white ash that turned out to be over 100 years old. It grew up tall, straight and the growth rings are tight and nicely varied in color from heartwood to sapwood.

very much different than the neighborhood junk that I leave on the curb when I see a tree crew cutting one down.
