Looks very nice Matt. Really curious about what wood that is. As far as copying goes there are very few original ideas and shapes left. A painter who does a beautiful scene of nature has copied nature. Wood turners make flowers that look like ones that grew in nature. You may pick up a turning technique watching someone else but more than likely that was used before in one form or another. The trick is tying all those tricks together and remember that nature has created all these things for us to use. You have done a fine job with this piece! Gary

thank you Gary, wise words! The wood is defintely Leylanddii, or Layland cyprus.. it grows like a weed in the UK and people often plant them as a 'quick' barrier, to then have it take over. We took out a whole hedge of it about 2 years ago, so its very well seasoned and dry. It was incredibly surprising how nice it came out!

[@ThePapa1947]

Well Matt those are some weeds I could deal with LOL

[@WithTheGrain527]

haha they grow SO fast. i have a whole heap of it, when its dry its really delicate. I'm going to do some skew practice on some of it
