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 curly eucalypt 002.jpgcurly eucalypt 003.jpgcurly eucalypt 001.jpga wall of around 1/8th" finished with WOP two coats and buffed with a neutral wax.
 
Very pretty piece, Neil. :thumb: I think you made the right call by not carving the spirals on this one. The wood has its own spirals going on already. ;)
 
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.
