Took this singed tree down a couple of months ago. The guys garden shed workshop burnt down and this tree was growing next to it. Turned green and left to move this little pot is 3 1/4" across the oval and 2 3/4" high.

Neil,
We never know what will come out of the wood we turn.
That looks great. As a piece of wet turned wood you’ve made a
good looking pot.

Great looking pot Neil :thumbs: It always amazes me the unexpected paternation that appears when you turn a lump of wood. I really like the distortion that has occurred during its drying process it gives that little pot some real strong character :thumbs:
