Two Things Turned Today

I have a tall stump at the back of our property. It has some burls on it. Using my little electric chainsaw, I harvested some of the burl.

Here are one of the pieces that I cut off the stump.

Today, I made a couple of pieces with some of the burl. One is just a little piece to hold flower buds. The other is Jayaruh #449. I have ordered a couple of knots. When they get  here, I'll use one to finish the brush.

Here is the bud holder.
