Last year I received some curly cherry wood. It’s been air drying and over this long weekend I decided to give a small piece a turn.

It’s great looking grain, for sure. I’m glad I have several more pieces and will be looking to use it on nicer items in the future.

As far as the shape goes, I messed up a little while turning so it’s about a half inch shorter than intended. I think a longer neck will more closely resemble a beer bottle.
