Obtained some acacia  wood in Oakland on Saturday.  I received a wood available alert from the Bay Area Wood Turners on Friday and picked these two pieces up on Saturday.  These pieces of wood were too heavy for me and I put them in the trunk of my car anyway.  My hernias and back hurt as a result.

Made a 10 inch tall dry flower vase for Linda.  It is raffle wood which you can see has a lot of interesting figuring, bug holes, etc.  It will be interesting to see what flowers Linda puts into it.
