Thought this was a burl when I cut it off but found the old branch stub hidden in the folds of bark. Thought I'd give it a shot anyway - turned out to be the most beautiful piece of wood I think I've ever finished. Was originally going to go with an ebonized traditional spindle base and finial but changed plans after pulling what is now the base out of the scrap bin for the 3rd time. Just couldn't bear to throw anything with that much color away. Seriously, the photos don't do it justice.

Beautiful, TTIT,

Very inspiring - I'm going to have to have a go at this turning business one day!

Cheers,

Jill

Hi TITT

Amazing, I would call it "the beauty of nature"

Thank you for showing

I like how you've kept it natural at the foot, good work

Excellent

Always a chance of a surprise with wood, and this time a very pleasant one.

great piece tt, really like the finish
. must be nice to be able to turn timber into something like that. only thing I seem to do on a regular basis is turn timber into firewood.

Hi TTIT,

I know very little (i.e. nothing!) about turning, but that looks wonderful - and love the base too.

I don't know why people call their offcut bin a "scrap" box, because I know I'm often in there rummaging for that certain little piece - it's a sort of treasure trove...
