Woodturning - It was supposed to be a end grain bowl

The plan was to turn bowl but while turning this i get the idea to make somekind of lamp.
shade is masur birch and the base silver birch.
finished with couple coats of danish oil.

Looks like the Eye of Sauron. Any lord of the rings fan would buy that from you.

[@jarkko.makkonen]

Ei paha laisinkaan👍 Kyllä tuo on enemmän seinäkoriste ja tunnelmavalo kuin kulho. Saa 5 kertaisen hinnan kuin kulhosta. Tuosta jos koivun kuvio paranee niin eihän sitä kehtaa ees sorvata. Aivan loistava. Hieno taideteos

[@jarkko.makkonen]

kiitoksia paljon👍 joo kyllä arvelin työtä alottaessa et nättiä puuta on mut tehdessä piti suunnitelmaa muuttaa että puu pääsee näyttämään oikeasti parhaat puolensa. muutama "hullu" idea samasta puusta tulossa kunhan taas ehtii sorvin äärelle..

[@garthkeck2003]

Now that's real different. What kind of wood? Birch?

[@jarkko.makkonen]

it is called masur birch or karelian birch but it actually is variant of silver birch. it grows in karelia here in finland and russia. and i live in north karelia in finland so.. i am lucky to have guite lot of this masur birch avaible for woodturning.

[@thomasbruckner9734]

Looks really great! What kind of wood was that?

[@jarkko.makkonen]

fresh cut of pretty nice guality masur birch.

[@crocuscreekwoodworks]

That is really cool but is that wet wood? If so, it's going to bust and crack like crazy and then what? I am doing one right now and it's in my kiln drying and it is cracking all apart. I'll fix it with resin after it's dry, but these end grain turnings are fragile.

[@jarkko.makkonen]

yes the "shade" was very wet. i let it dry about 2 weeks on lathe it crooked a bit. but because i turned it so thin it doesnt crack so easily. base was pretty dry wood before turning so i think it does not crack. i like these end grain turnings but the risk of cracking sometimes chooses the design.

[@crocuscreekwoodworks]

@@jarkko.makkonen It is a very nice turning
