Back to Wood Turning

Ok guys and gals, enough about plumbing, besides, it is time to call in the pros. The royal flush is not so royal except for a royal pain. Anyway, here is the log that started all the fun with the apple.

It has cracks and checks and all that neat stuff that makes great firewood, but I just did not want to burn it, soo... The idea was to make a natural edged vase with neck, but I thought I would try a fair curve first and see if it stayed together. I will gradually get the whole thing on the web site (note the word gradually) but is there not a lot of dreams in a log like this?
