Continuing with the elm burl theme started a couple days ago by David Keller, this is the chunk of elm burl that taught me what a bad idea it is to put your thumb on a spinning blank that has voids in it. Nothing fancy, just a lot of cool holes, and a rim that's hanging on by a thread. Not really a good candidate for vacuum chucking, either. It's about 5" wide and 3 1/2" tall. It has a few coats of Formby's Tung Oil Finish on it now. I'll buff it out a bit with the finer grits of Micro Mesh and wax it in a few days. I don't think I'll be machine buffing this one.
