Turned this for my daughter when she completed a 9 month training program that was centered in Albuquerque NM last year. The wood is mulberry and sourced locally in NM.
As always C&C welcomed.
From the top and side. Pencil for size comparison.
Here's the twist. At the graduation, each trainee received a memorial challenge cord. Daughter wanted her's captured in a locally sourced wooden bowl. The back story is that I gave her a bowl when she graduated from ECU in which I embedded an ECU Engineering challenge coin. The bowl was made from an oak tree taken down on campus for the student center construction. Here, I added a walnut sleeve to accentuate the coin from the bottom. The coin naturally grabs your eye from the top view. Yes, it is hard to miss from the bottom, I know.
Finish is none. Just sanded to 800 grit and Yorkshire grit.
She's happy.
Thanks for looking.
