I had a large lump of Cherrywood lurking behind my workshop,and thought it would make a good pot/vase,endgrain turned,and very wet,even after 15 months after felling,turned down to around 3/8" thickness,10 1/2" high and 11 1/4" wide,reverse turned to adjust/make a foot,abraded to 600 grit then waxed with Mansion wax,nothing fancy just a nice pot/vase,that will make a nice gift for my little brothers 60th birthday this year.
