Thank you. This was turned on a 1958 (I think... maybe 1962) Shop Smith converted for lathe work. One of my very first pieces.

Sorry bout the delayed response. Haven't been on here in a while.
Usually I get box elder from a specialty store in my hometown called Wood Craft. They carry a lot of rare and exotic woods. You can check their website to see if they have a store in your area (www.woodcraft.com)

I didn't have to make them. Box elder does this natural when the tree starts to die. It bleeds a red dye into the wood. I just got lucky with this piece of wood and the red came out in a really nice pattern. Too bad I didn't own a good camera at the time I made this one.
