Well! I attempted to turn a bowl. After I started turning, I began considering proportions, height Vs. girth, grain pattern, etc. and I decided to make a Urn for "My Buddy BUSTER" instead. The wood is from a dead, front yard Maple, I had taken down a few years back. I wish I had kept more of it. BUT, it's companion has also died a couple summers ago (not yet taken down) and I plan to keep a lot of it. I'm not sure what species of Maple it is but some of it is highly figured and moderately spalted. I probably still have a couple coats of oil to apply and have it lazer engraved. The Type in the pic is Photo Shop. C and C welcome, but I think Buster would be proud!:angel::cat:
