I enjoyed some time at the lathe Saturday when I should've been attaching binding but I was lost in the wonder of working with wood. This is a piece of the holly cut down in my daughter's yard!
I think it took as much time to drill it out (using first a small forstner bit and then a larger one) as it did to turn the shape!
I need to apply the many layers of shellac yet so I will wait to share the final beauty shots!
What a beautiful piece of wood, and what a lovely way to memorialize a memory-filled tree!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very pretty piece of wood!
ReplyDeletei love the wavy edge around the top
ReplyDeleteHolly? That is amazing. I had no idea it was so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty. I didn't know holly was so pretty with the color variations.

The top photo reminds me of a milk bottle from the old days.
