Some talk about burl caps and Terry Scott's photos got me to finally throw this on the lathe and just make something out of it. Big Leaf Maple that I hoped to save the spikes on, but it just wasn't in the cards. It was suggested to me on another site that I call this a compote, so I'm going with that. Anyway, it's dyed black (heavy around the edges), red and yellow. The pedestal is from another piece of scrap maple burl. 7.5" tall x 7.5" wide at the rim, 1/16 thick and finished with tung oil and nervously Beall buffed. All comments are always more than welcome and thanks for looking, Don
