Turnings

 One of the most stunning cedar burls I have ever had the privilidge to work with. The grain like fire and the burned edges by fire synergise in this beautiful piece.  The center is actually turned off azis for a subtle warped effect. 

 I am pleased to say this was purchased by another artist!
