Back to my roots

When I lived on Exmoor I use to turn a lot of wood like this and much of what I made had holes, cracks, splits etc. Then I started getting posh and using whole wood. Sorting through a forgotten stash of wood I came across this lump of cedar. Some was missing, some flew out when turning but I actually loved using this sort of wood again. Be intersting on peoples reactions at shows as I am finding rustic more natural pieces sell well. Thos one has a fir bit of sanding to do on the i nside (hand sanding of course) C&C welcome as always. Curious to see peoples reactions

Sorry Pete, I love this piece, which means it will never sell!
I think this is one for Mo to look at before you do any more to it, I can see a perfect shiny part with art work, blending into the more rustic sections.

I also like natural turned pieces but that does not mean that I do not appreciate a well-turned piece decorated or not.
Looks a well-turned piece and I can see that it will not take long to sell (under normal times).

Being cedar decorating the way Mo does it would be difficult. Mo uses pyro and inks and on cedar that would be really hard to get any detail. Nice idea though, worth floating to see what sge comes up with.
