>This is possibly the most beautiful piece of wood I have turned in 18 yrs. It's a humbling experience to attempt to demonstrate Ma Natures creations, given the fact that I seldom turn bowls anymore.Reproducing chatoyance and figure in a photo are sorry substitutes for the real deal.

Very pretty. I love good wood but seldon get it. That's an excellent piece. Trying to capture Dichroic glass is just as impossible as Chatoyance. It just don't happen in a still photo.
