This weekends effort was this flower box, I was going to title this thread Flower Pot. But someone would have said "Flobbalob"

It is made out of two pieces of Ash I picked up at Snainton Wood Supplies last week. The diameter is 10" (260mm) by 4" (100mm) tall
Very scary turning the petals and even worse trying to sand it. A couple of times I could feel the air blowing past my hands if the got too close.
