>I posted this on WoW and figured I'd post here as well. This piece reminded me of Jupiter as I was turning it. Endgrain turned maple 8.75"h x 9.25"d 2" opening and a 2.75" foot. Walls are approx 3/16". My largest vessel to date. Sure is a lot of wood inside one of these. Finish is oil that I'll buff later.

>Tony,

Since on of my past hobbies was astronomy, your title for this piece really caught my eye. Like Mike said, I can see the famous "Red Spot". The grain of maple can be quite surprising, can't it?

Nice shape! I bet you had to shoot really those knots full of CA just to keep them from cracking, right?

See ya around,

Dominic
