A work in progress

I was given a large lump of laburnum and it just said make me into a vase  and I'm glad that it did as the grain in the wood is lovely. Your comments will be most welcome on this one.
So far it has only had water put on it as it is still very wet but I'm looking forward to putting oil on this one. Les

What a stunning piece of timber....fingers crossed that it behaves whilst it dries!

As you say beautiful wood but i would leave the chucking point on it for a while as the wood has a bad habit of splitting and moving. I have yet to work out when laburnum can be considered stable as I have had wood that is many years cut move and split on me.

How is this one doing now?

I have to admit to being jealous of this piece of timber, all the knots in it make for some stunning grain patterns.

Many thanks for looking and your comments guys, the wood has not started cracking as yet.
I have left it in my workshop in the hope that it doesn't crack and I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. Les
