The last of my spalted hollow birch log. This log was sorta hollow and it also had 2 holes in the log itself so after looking at it for about 3 months, I “scooped’ the top off and made a sort of basket deal out of it. I put maple on the ends and shaped it up as I went. It took me all day to hollow, shape, smooth, and sand this piece. The handles were an after-thought that turned out great and the last pic is before I added the handles. It measures 14’’ L x 8’’ around and it sets up about 1 1/2’’. Finished it with Danish oil and Howards wax. I am gonna stuff it full of boxed candies and gift cards and give to my sister for Christmas. Thanks for the looks and comments.

Very Nice!!
The handles are inspired! In my opinion they really add a touch of class.

Wow! Sometimes you can just get lost in a piece of wood,... You know just staring and staring and appreciating it for what it is. THIS is one of those times! What a neat piece!

Nice use of the log. Certainly kept a lot of its beauty. Would make a nice centerpiece as well.

Beautiful wood is like good coffee…good to the last drop. It’s sad when you create with the very last piece. Great project. And its’ life is extended for many more years. Thanks for sharing.
