Quercus falcata

This piece is 15.5” tall and 8.25” in diameter.

What to say? The form says it all without any real help from me. This tree was truly massive and had a wonderful ring of spalted wood all the way around the perimeter of the piece when I was able to get to it. This piece was turned on a side grain orientation so that the very bottom of the piece was closest to the center of the tree and the top is part of the natural deviations found just under the bark of the tree. The color, contrast and shape of this piece, as well as a flawless finish, commend it to any serious collector.
