I managed to get my hands on a small whole Red Mallee burl cap.



I finally got the nerve to try turning it and this is what I decided to make

I made the sections thicker because I was not familiar with the working qualities of the wood. Next time they will be thinner though I like the natural edge effect


Hi William, Wonderful !

This work will establish your signature and place among the High Enders. Be sure to Christen it with a proper name.

Hope you can find enough red malee burl to continue or if not, like some other famous do, get this same pic published over and over and over in magazines and everywhere else til you are recognized by it and anything vaguely similar becomes a criminal plagiary. :)

Please don't abandon us when you become ever more widely known. It can happen, you know. :)

Turn to Safety, Arch Fortiter
