Wormy Ash. Hollowed with a small (1/4″) hole in the top. Sliced and reassembled with Wenge pewa.

Yes, I hollowed it through the bottom.
Rustic
Wormy ash hollow form. About 8.5″ diameter, 5″ high.
This was a crotch with 3 limbs that I found at our club’s wood lot. I turned it whole (leaving in the pith from all the limbs).
I decided to leave the cracks – too many to try to fill or patch. And I removed the frass from the worm holes (lots of those, too).
Finish is Osmo Poly-X.
I did a “Follow Along” post on the AAW Forum to demonstrate my progress and decisions along the way.
