    Default Sally Wattle Christmas present

    This one is a much stronger visually with the 12 spirals and the dark grain of the Sally Wattle adds to the visual impact.

    9x7 with an unknown burl opening, finished with gloss WOP. Gloss the recipient prefers a high gloss.Personally I wouldn't have gone for a high gloss.

    Nah, I gotta carve them the woods too hard to twist.
