Hi all
Had a go with a piece of Tulipwood today that I was going to pierce after turning it but decided against it after waxing it and bringing out the grain. Tulipwood tends to be a quite bland wood sometimes but I have had a few nice blanks of it lately.
This is 8" diam 4" high and finished in Woodwax, Comments welcome ta :)
Regards
Steve

Thanks Jen pleased you like it!

Cheers Greg!

Ta Eugene it`s a weird sort of wood its a mixture of very green or cream ! and its a right PITA to get smooth. I had a a few bits and just made an identical piece to try some carving on!

Glad you like it Colin!
Regards

nice work
lovely bit of wood that
might be an idea to have turned the top half real thin and allow to warp
 
Thanks Harlequin and LW. I gather there two types of Tulipwood the pink type (American?) and the green type which this is. Lovely to turn but a right PITA to get smooth especially on the end grain #-o There I`ve said it twice now it really was a pain (hammer)

If I can get close to your standard I will be pleased. REgards Boysie
