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

What a beautiful piece of work..
You kept it in one piece & brought out the best, it has to offer.
Very well done, Greg.

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.....
Grey beautiful work as always!

Thank you sir....I have had a few burls unexpectedly explode on the lathe.
She's a beautiful piece Greg! Nice work as always.
That turned out great!!

Hah, it would do well in the pretty category for sure!
Nice work Greg. It's had to beat a beautiful piece of ironwood burl for a trumpet.
