Was going to wait til I had better pic from the good camera but decided these iPhone ones will work. 

     The wood came from a lot next door , house site.  I checked the labeled trees and two looked interesting. One a Chestnut Oak or American Chestnut and the other some type post oak. This wood came from the Chestnut oak. This piece had three knots. 

       I turned it to completion and it cracked a little at rim and vase . Black CA stopped that. 

       For finish I applied Royal Blue Chestnut Stains. Sanded that back (you will have to discard this sandpaper) and applied yellow. Final finish 4 costs Minwax brush on lacquer applied via airbrush. Then buff with Beall buff. Then applied Renaissance Wax. 

      Note these pics are the three different knots. FDE8D6E7-6026-42E8-9D30-64F29EE577F6.jpeg.91fabf660d5c37275fa8e4dd5857fe3b.jpeg

That is a interesting looking piece.  NICE!!

Like the color and figure of the wood on this piece a lot. Nice piece!

I like it!  The knot adds to the beauty.

That looks really good. The color is great. The pictures were also. I'm using my good camera less and less as the iphone cameras bet better and better.

That’s an amazing turning. I love the color and the knotty wood.

That is a work of art Gerald, beautiful.

Thanks for the comments . I have found that more and more I look for knots and blemishes in the wood I turn, Turning wet wood with knots is the most interesting. These knots can self destruct with drying but usually just stick out farther from the bowl or shrivel with lots of irregularities.

Gerald, like others have said, this is one awesome piece.  I can only repeat what the others have said, so I won't bore anyone with repeats.  Just solidly agree that is one beautiful piece of art.
