I was given a piece of shaggy bark juniper and the gentleman challenged me to make something out of it. It had a few bark inclusions and other "flaws" but I took up the challenge.
A few before pictures of the piece on the lathe the third pic shows a piece I though might break off so drilled it and drove a few walnut dowel pieces in to add strength. After finishing the outside I wrapped it in packing tape to keep it together. I saw the inclusions and cracks so the tape was a nice insurance. Then the finished piece talk about a labor of love. The finish is hand rubbed oil.
Thanks and input is always welcome. William
