Woodturning a Spectacular Split Log Vessel

Thank you very much to everyone who voted in the poll for the color of this piece. My wife found a Facebook post for free wood in my area. I was able to get a bed full of these Eucalyptus logs. I cut most of them into a variety of bowl blanks, but kept a few logs as well. I specifically did not seal this particular log because I wanted it to crack for this specific design. Unfortunately there are hundreds of Eucalyptus species and I do not know exactly what species this wood is, but it sure is beautiful. The Okinawa green from Eye Candy pigments looks fantastic with the deep pour epoxy from Superclear epoxy. I was also able to use the new flat tool rests from Simple Woodturning Tools for the first time on this piece. They worked amazing and I will definitely be using them more in the future. I really like the way this piece turned out and will likely come back to this design in the future. I rarely like to make anything more than once but this one will be an exception. Thank you for watching and all the amazing comments. You all are awesome! I hope you have a wonderful day!
