I have been turning alot of tops and I came across a chuck of firewood that I decided to make a big top out of it. The top is walnut and poplar and it is 6” in diameter with a 1 1/4” dowel down the center. I put a quarter a regular size top in the photo for comparison. The small top is redheart.

Are they spun by hand? The mass of the large one makes me think it would go for a long time while the little one skitters around it. Nice work.
