Euc burl with Sally Wattle collar 9x5 finished with DO. This one was a bit of a hassle as the walls are very weak although fairly thick. It flexed in the steady to the point where I thought it might disintegrate.

Hughie,

I think that ring shake and those cracks would have put just about everyone else off the idea of tuning this as one large piece.

Well done on holding it together and finishing such a wonderful piece.

As TTiT say's Humpty's Mate (after the rebuild).

Had to back off on the bottom and leave it fairly thick, it just got too flimsy. :o
