Love the texture and figure in this wood.
Piece of pistachio wood centered on the graft (which is what causes that funky line down the middle) I got as a rough turned blank from my cousin at HighWestWood during the road trip to southern Oregon last fall. He'd rough turned it to a bit over 1" thick and then I brought it home and finished it up. It wanted to check and split a bit on the end grain a bit and warps some while drying but really shapes beautifully once you get to it.
9 1/2" across, 3" deep wall at about 3/16 with a 1/4" bead on the rim.
