    Sand it, put a coat of finish on it, name it with either an ancient Greek or Roman interpretation vessel.

    Put a price tag of three or fours times the going rate and see who will purchase it.

    No buyers, double the price and add the words one a kind.

    I'd give it a sand & then maybe texture it with a blowtorch & a wire brush.

    Sand it first, it makes a big difference to the end result.

    I'm guessing it might be "fresh" River Red Gum?

    That stuff moves around more than a teen mum in commission housing. Had goblets bend double and bowls that "zippered" themselves closed. Weird how far it can bend w/out breaking when it wants to...

    Nevertheless, I love working the stuff. (Partly for that same reason! )

    Did you rough out the inside as well? As Cliff said, that'd be an interesting piece if you could finish it... somehow.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    It's probably on sale at a European gallery ... asking price ...you have to ask.

    Default I had

    I had a sense of humor like that once, warped.

    Reminds me of a gal I once knew - face like a twisted sand shoe.

    That is interesting. Should turn out to be a masterpiece if you persevere.

    As a novice turner, the lesson for me in that is that in "rough" turning green wood, it should not be left too rough. If it cannot be turned back into the desired shape, then hand or power sanding the warped object may make it into something.

    Cheers,
    "A".
