That bit of cherry

[Tazmaniandevil]

Following on from Nev's vase, I had a piece of cherry sitting around for ages and drew inspiration from the egg-in-cup idea.

Being cherry there are loads of stress fractures around it, but hopefully they won't get any worse. Still a bit of sanding to do, especially round the "shell" part. I like it though.

=D> super

funnily enough thats just how i was going to do mine but i couldnt get the shell 'spikes' to look right so i attacked it with the bandsaw

I attacked mine with the dremel. There's a few marks from the cutter on the "spikes" which I will sand out. So far it has some olive oil on it, so will have to decide on a finish.

Is it oversized so you can fit an egg in it, or is it purely ornamental?
(I like it either way).

It's about 6" tall by 3" diameter at its widest point. Purely ornamental, although....... that's quite a good idea.
