Twig Pot in Acacia

My first attempt at off-centre turning! The oval cross-section is obtained turning between centres to obtain a cylindrical
cross-section, then moving the axis off-centre at one end, to turn one arc of the "oval" first, then setting the axis off-centre
again, but diametrically opposite to the first, and turning the other arc of the "oval". The workpiece wobbles alarmingly, so
some care is required!

It "turned" out nice - Sorry for the silly pun, It's a beautiful piece. I love the Acacia wood.
