I'm gonna throw in one of my turnings. It was a wedding gift for a family member. The goblet is made of walnut and maple with 2 rings that have the names of the couple one ring and their wedding date on the other. I just wish I had taken some better pictures of it before it was gifted to them. It now resides in Scotland, UK. Hope you guys like it. Thanks for looking

There's a crack there that I filled with CA and coffee grounds.
...and I found this piece of crotch oak (pin oak) I think and I know you just "take away all the stuff that doesn't make it look like a... (bowl, vessel, etc.)", but even I was shocked when I opened this piece of wood! and yes, that is a knot going crosswise through the bowl!
