tazza

Participated in the unfortunately-required harvest of a huge (County Champion with 297 points) black cherry in January 2007.  Roughed a crotch and set aside to dry and warp.  It laughed at me for 15 years.  The last laugh's on me.  I think I did it justice as a tazza.  2-7/8" h x 9-1/4" dia.  Bush Oil and carnauba wax.  I call it "Champ". Had to be shallow to keep the flame.  


 


 

Here's my haiku for it:

Kensington cherry

champion, junction, warp, time

shallow flame tazza

A little brass powder for some punk.  


 




 

Tell me what you think.

Nice

Good feather, don't see the brass, might be a bit "tippy" so watch what you set out on the rim.

the brass...

...is on the bottom (final photo) -- a couple of punky areas that needed leveling.

It's actually quite stable, but I don't intend setting heavy objects on the rim.  No eggplant.  :-)
