Thanks for the comments folks.
These pieces did move and split a lot during drying (after rough turning) despite my best efforts, in fact Les that's why the 1st one brakes into the bark, as I had to do that to make it 'clean up', otherwise it would have been like the middle one.
Don't know if it's Pissard Terry, I didn't see the tree in leaf, but quite possibly. -look forward to seeing your work-in-progress completions. -and yes these shapes do sell well, these have already gone.
Shame we missed you at the club last week John, you could have seen these in the 'flesh', not sure I've got much left now, a few members have made some pieces with it...
Cheers.
