This Cottonwood Burl was some of the prettiest I have turned in a while. The figure is great and it finished fantastic. I stabilized it prior to turning and filled small voids with resin. I normally don't offer anything that I am not 100% satisfied with, but this piece is too nice to sit in my shop, so I decided to offer it here at a discount. The issue is that the Medallion is off center by a hair, and being partially OCD, it bugs me. If you can live with this, I will offer it for $10.00 less than normal. $55.00 and I'll go ahead and pay the shipping. I will wait and see if anyone at TSC wants this before I post it on my site. Any takers???? The handle is Cottonwood Burl drilled for 22/24mm knot. (not included) The height is 2 ¼", Diameter is 1 ⅜" drilled to ⅝" with a 25mm to accommodate variance.
Thanks for taking a look.

Thanks Dave. Wish I had been more careful drilling for the medallion. Oh well. Maybe someone will benefit from my mistake.

I guess if you squint real hard you can see it might be off-center. Wouldn't matter to me mine sit on their butts on the counter all the time.

Clearly its frogs hair @NurseDave ...and I happen to have a frogshair knot so I sent a PM to stake my claim.

Sold to Chris. Thanks. Appreciate the support.

After much deliberation I decided on a knot to install in my new handle. It hasn’t been lathered yet but being a synthetic I don’t expect it to “bloom”. I love the way it looks.

When I looked at the original pics I would have thought it was a resin, not burl! That thing is absolutely a work of art by two Masters, One of everything, and another who is a @Knothead ! Really gorgeous, and that medallion looks perfectly fine to these well used eyes!

Cool beans.

I had those today! I've been batching it since my wife's been caring for her mom as of late. I can eat what I want!!!

Oh it definitely is a looker. I’ll allow everyone to believe the coin is painfully askew so they don’t feel like they missed out on an awesome thing...but I know exactly how askew it really is.

The hardest part was picking the right knot.
