Back in June at the show I did in Malibu, some guy came up to me in the booth and gave me a piece of wood. He said it was a Manzanita burl that had been burned in one of the Malibu wildfires. Sure enough it looked like a half-burned log out of a campfire. I told him I'd see what was inside, but I didn't have a lot of hope for it. It's been sitting wrapped in plastic bags in the driveway until recently. I figured since I'm doing the same show again this weekend, I should try to make something out of it in case the guy comes back by the booth.
Here's what I started with...

So I lopped off the horns a bit...

Mounted it between centers...

And spun it up...

Turned a tenon on the bottom. This is showing some promise...

Hollowed the inside. Even more promising...
