Charlie- I use a tung oil,linseed oil,poly mixture (equal parts each) haven’t tried buffing with wax yet , think I will try that as soon as I get a buffing wheel and all the compounds

-- The CNC machine can either produce the work of art you imagined, or very decorative firewood.

Great stuff!

Absolutely beautiful. Your work is very inspiring.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

totally amazing work.

-- keeping myself entertained

FANTASTIC! your work will never stop amazing me!

This is another beauty. Work like this is truly inspiring. As a non-artisan I really appreciate seeing this gifted ability expressed. You are both a craftsman and an artist.

Again, well done!!

Out of curiosity are you able to use any of the offcuts for other projects? I am just guessing that you had to remove a lot of material to get to the final result.

It might be even more dramatic, the next time you post one of these, to post a picture of the original burl along with the finished piece. Just a thought.

Thanks for the post.

WHAT’S THE GOING RATE FOR SOMETHING SO EXOTIC AS THIS ?

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Thanks all!!
Scott Bryan-I do get a little bit out of the core not to big though maybe good enough for pens,I usually use a chunk for a card holder that describes the vessel and process that I sell with the it..Good idea on the original burl picture I want to do that and some pictures of chainsawing and grinding the same burl.I’m thinking I can give these to the customer that purchases the peice that migh help add “value” to the vessel.
