Iv'e been fooling around with this off and on for months now, finally finished it. The bottom is redgum ecyalyptus with a little bees' wing figure, the middle is staved, very fine grained douglas fir (or VGDF in the woodmonger's venacular) with wenge veneer, and the top is desert ironwood. I used my new buffing system on it. The fir didn't buff out too shiny but the eucalyptus and DIW sure did. I wish I could have made the neck a little thinner, but it has a hollow down the center that prevented it. The flower part was turned, then the petals cut out and shaped with a bandsaw and rasp. 14 inches tall and 10 wide at the base.
