The first one is an olla made from mesquite with turquoise inlay It is 6” across and 4” high. This was started in Arizona but I did not have my boring arm down there so I finished it here in Michigan. I should have planned it to be bored from the bottom like I usually do. I find that much faster and I can do it with just a 5/8' bowl gouge.The second piece is a walnut bowl that was roughed out a few years ago and was laying near the lathe so its turn came up and the elves grabbed it and now it is done. It is 6” across and 2” high and has a tiny bit of turquoise in it.Both pieces were finished with Danish oil and buffed and waxed .I'm debating on a decorative lid for the olla ! What do you think?Cheers, Jim
