Turning, turning and turning

Just a little something I knocked up on the lathe. A lamp made out of the wood from a friends Cherry tree I cut down last year.

The wood was still rather wet and in need of more seasoning, so microwaved it in short bursts of low power, which seems to have worked.

The bit of wood was stunning, you can’t really see from this picture the grain and pattern in the wood. Already have several orders for more! So looks like I will be spending more time on the lathe for a while which suits me!
