A piece of fairly good curly Eucalypt, originally I was going to carve spirals on it. But thought better of it as the curl is effective enough on its own.
7x3" with a wall of around 1/8th" finished with WOP two coats and buffed with a neutral wax.
Way cool. The grain is amazing and I agree that spirals would have taken away from the natural beauty of the piece. I think they are best left to "dress up" an otherwise plain turning.
