Washington catalpa vase, highly translucent. Catalpa shows the light about the best of all woods.
Vase turned from Montana box elder burl. It is highly color with dramatic hues of red and the crack its length made it challenging to turn.	Small vase turned from Washington maple burl. Note the jagged edge where the burl character was preserved.
Very old Eastern Aromatic Cedar. Often turners use old cedar fence posts to turn pieces.
