A much more pleasing profile than the last offering. This one has a distinct sweeping curve without the sudden changes of direction, which makes it much easier on the eye. I can see that a piece of recovery wood such as this might well have been a tricky piece to turn, but you seem to have mastered it. One question.....how many coats of BB Oil have you used?

p.s. your camera lens has dust on it!
Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

I know it's the 'luck of the draw' but the way the grain moves across this piece, darkening to the Olive Ash area and the knot make this really dramatic.
