Hey everyone, I finally have a project other than my flags to show off. Here is a mortar and pestle i made for my mom back home in Kentucky. It is turned from a piece of Japanese Elm burl that I bought from an exotic wood dealer on a recent trip to North Carolina. Interesting fact about this piece of wood is that it came from a tree that grew in New York city and when it was cut down nobody wanted the tree so this specific dealer acquired it and long story short I purchased this 5 and a half pound piece for 20 bucks a pound, probably the most I've ever paid for a chunk of wood. Special piece for a very special Lady!
