This stuff is VERY dry---it doesn't move but you really have to be careful of tear out.
I spent a hour sanding this on the lathe and went all the way to 400.
I used one of Kens new round cutters yesterday on the inside walls to see how it would perfrom.
Next test will be something real hard. So far I am happy with his tools.

Nice Gary. We took down a box elder here a couple years ago. I don't think there was that much colour in the whole tree. Nice to get a piece of wood like that.

The Red is not in very Box Elder tree.

The red is caused by infestation, sort of like ambrosia in a normal maple tree

That's some pretty wood, Nice vase Gary Box Elder can be kind of tricky to keep the red on, but even when it turns brown which unless it sits in a window will take a while it still looks nice,
I take it the inserts worked.
