This one is Sweet Gum Spalted hollowform shipped to a AAW member in a swap. Did not measure but maybe 3/16 thickness. 
 

 

 

 

That is something else, beautiful work.

Great stuff as well, I'm going to check out this Mahoneys finish.

I'm spit-balling here but any chance it's Sassafras? 

My guess is applewood

I still consider myself as a newbie wood turner so I’m a little proud of this one. Someone on facebook here wanted to get rid of some pear wood. I went to pick it up, most of the wood is rotted on the inside but this branch was solid. It’s about 10 1/2” x 7ish x 3 1/2”, finished with matte lacquer. One thing it taught me was I need to work on keeping my hand, arms etc BEHIND the tool rest .  

Very cool Gordon. Love it.

Just finished these and wanted to show something  I've been working on.  Ornaments are walnut and kansas thorny locust stripes are Aspen,diameter is1.5 in. Length approximately 6ln. Hope you enjoy looking as much as I did making. Happy Holidays,  Rusty

Those look great!  Symmetry looks spot on.  

[Grandpadave52]

Those are excellent @RustyFN.  Well done!

[lew]

Those are spectacular, @Rusty S! Love the Celtic knot design!!

[Rusty S]

Thank you  gentlemen;  Lew i was hoping you would appreciate what is required to make this design and I hope you don't mind but I would like to attempt to copy the design in that signature rolling pin of yours for an ornament. Thanks Rusty

[Rusty S]

If anyone is interested in how to do that design I  would be happy to explain
