This was a dogwood limb that had been left laying on the ground for several years. I almost gave up on it. The plan was to make a scoop. Turned out, there was a bud vase there instead. About 7.75” x 2.75”.
I’m not sure of the wood - I bought a large slab years ago in rough shape. Any help identifying would be appreciated. It’s definitely in the evergreen realm. Last three photos are a vase of the same wood and the rough wood.
I am having so much fun! This isn’t a hobby, it’s more of an obsession.
Dad and I don’t normally make a big deal out of birthdays or holidays, but felt like he deserved another piece off of the lathe that he helped me secure. Not sure of the wood - but not oak!
Went thinner than I planned but really happy with how it turned out. 8.5” x .75”
