Thanks guys. Actually the hardest part about turning this one was the fact that being so small I couldn't swing my tool rest into the piece so I had to hang the tools off a bit more than I would have liked.

Yep, all skin & knuckles intact Smile

Jim, scary part is, I have a couple more of these burls and about 1/2 of them are as wild or wilder than this!
