Elm Urn
 

This was turned from a large Elm crotch.  The main trunk was approximately 18" in diameter, which split into two large trunks each of which were 12" in diameter.

On one side of the piece you can clearly see the grain from the two branches, as well as the distinctive "feathering" pattern where the two branches connect.

The other side features a natural bark section that comes up and around the lip of the opening.  The coloring of the bark, with its light and dark areas, was a real surprise, and presents the most interesting visual part of the completed form.
