Loosely based on a demo I saw by Phil Irons in 2019 at the Chestnut Woodturning Weekender. Walnut, 4" x 2" coloured with Blue and Red Spirit stain and Copper gilt cream. Bare wood finished in Lemon Oil.

It's a bit from a small branch fork Mark. I got most of this tree with the biggest rounds being about 16 to 18 inches. Only the biggest bits had any sign of the dark heartwood.
