What happened to the rest of the tree? :)

Are you off sailing the seas?

Seems very quiet in here! Anybody got any new tools for Christmas?! I'm leaving the country at the weekend, and have finished work already, so I'm making the most of having the time off, and being at home, with the lathe. Made this for my Grandmother's Birthday. It's about 11" across, and the wood comes from an Oak tree, which fell across our road, when we had the really heavy snow a couple of years ago.
