    Nice work chuck1, well done.
    The quality of your turning is obvious in the rest of the piece.
    Cheers, Ian

    There is some very crisp detail in that and the hand work for the twist is excellent - well done.

    You don't give dimensions though.

    thankyou and sorry! it's about 200mm high and largest diameter is 75 mm. it turns really nice had the pig tail shavings! it's a very light pink and darker growth rings no scent; I'll sand it again and have a good smell! the cup I bought at the reject shop and turned the timber to suit profile then 2 pak epoxy. This timber was used for the steel straps and to keep the timber pack off the floor! one guy at work thought it was cherry either way it was a great score
