I have a similar looking burl that was passed down to me, but scared to try anything with it. That looks very nice!

Yeah, almost get a couple scuffed fingers on it. Afterwards I thought; that could have taken off those fingers.

Really gorgeous Mike, assumed you turned it and if so, any problems with it being off center?

Yes, I turned it. Thanks for the compliment.
no problem on my lathe, 19 inch swing and several hundred pounds of old iron and steel. Getting the bottom turned was a little scary.
