This box elder vessel is turned from wood cut from a friends hunting property near Lansing, Mi. in February 2012. I brought home a small pickup load of this wood. The grain pattern is stunning with brilliant red looking like fire. It was fun turning the green wood. This piece is approximately 6h x 7w. I dried it by microwaving then turning with danish oil inside it until the oil penetrated all the way through. It has distorted to an oval but no cracks or checks in the finish.
