half a burl, half a myrtle

[smiife]

Hi guys ,
Put this blank on the lathe today , started to turn
it and noticed it was half a burl and half a myrtle
blank, not sure if you can see from the photos
but it should turn out to be an interesting piece !
can, t remember where it came from now, any
way watch this space and see what happens.
I have since wet sanded it to 800 grit and then
EEE and glow on the outside and it is shining!!!!!!!:cool:
Thanks for looking !

Should be very nice. Myrtle can be a bit boring otherwise.:cool:

Hoping It will be nice when it, s finished, the plain timber
Is a pinkish colour and the burl part is a rich dark red
so hopefully it will come out good

Thanks for your comments guys!
