Quite beautiful:2tsup:

Amazing piece. Looks like there must have been a lot of "off the lathe" work too.

Love the end product, looks amazing :cool::2tsup:

Was it turned from roots, or turned and then carved to look like roots? I assume the latter

was first turned outwards, then the tread of the roots, then turned internally, in the end a bit of pyrography to strengthen the design .... sorry for my bad English .. :- .... thanks for your intervention dai sensei .. :)

You've certainly got something going on your lathe, and you're well into open areas and free-forms.

I'd love to have seen this bit of wood before you turned it. It must have been inspiring.

Thanks for sharing
