I finished this Desert Ironwood Burl trumpet today, a really nice blank that took some care to keep it in one piece.

That's a neat looking piece of wood. Good job.

Thanks, I try to post some of the cooler pieces. That MP turned out nicer on the inside than it looked on the outside.

Greg, that's a stunning piece of desert ironwood.  Congratulations on keeping it in one piece. I cringe thinking about what your comment implies. Everyone likes burl, but turning burl is risky business....and you don't always see the loss coming.....

Thank you sir....I have had a few burls unexpectedly explode on the lathe.
