I've had a few crotch blanks that have have appeared solid on the sides but on further investigation have bark down the middle almost to the junction of the original two twigs. Have thrown a couple out and chopped others up looking for the feather wood. Then for a bit of a challenge I thought of trying the following.
Vase is turned from blackwood, 230 mm high and rim is 140 mm wide, finished with Danish Oil and buffed with Shellawax EEE.
As always comments welcome.
