Your "a bit of Oak" is always going to be an understatement :funny::funny:
That is a very nice piece of timber, very well showcased as always.... :drool::drool:

Funnily enough, I've just done the same. I "borrowed" some wood from a the nearby forest and made these. The pattern looks very similar. Collected over a year ago.

There are 4 of these, all from the same log. Not as nice as yours but this the first time I have found the wood, dried it, nursed it and talked to (as in plants) :funny::funny:. I even let the mushrooms grow on it for a while in the hope it would cause some spalting. Not sure what the wood is; could be Birch maybe: don't know.

Very nice work Niel. I love the plainness and honesty of the piece. My style of turning is that.

Cheers

(which way will these come out :funny::funny:) Please excuse the table work cloth, I wasn't going to publish them on here.
