I turned this the other day and was pretty pleased with the figure in the wood. The top is from a piece of Silver Maple burl I bought from CSUSA, the bottom is from a piece of Box Elder burl my son in law gave to me a few years back (he's the head Forester for the City of Provo, UT). The finial or rather, the knob is made from Honduras Rosewood Burl. Beautiful stuff!
