Cherry Burl Hollow Form
Sometimes, you just get lucky. This hollow form was turned from a beautiful Black Cherry burl that had literally fallen into the road, about 2 miles from my home.

This burl had grown all the way 'round a branch that was broken off its parent tree after a severe ice storm, and it was sticking out of a snow bank as I drove home one day.
