NEW! WT #111, Hollow Form Vessel from Peach with Malachite inlay.

I’ve been working on this piece for a few days now.  Fruitwood is always beautiful and it is very prone to checking so it offers a lot of opportunities to do inlay work.  This piece was completely dry before I started turning it which means it is very stable and there should be no further movement in the wood that could start new checking.  Turning dry hard wood makes for slow, messy, and tedious turning though as I produced no shavings but only sawdust. 🙄
