No, it's not a new type of Cannabis sativa...

It's my latest project - A Segmented Pot of Soft Maple and Walnut.
My 9th attempt at woodturning, and the second segmented item.

This is it, just off the lathe, with one coat of pure tung oil.
Will apply more as each application dries.

The poor lighting and the flash make the facing maple look lighter
than the other pieces - it's not really, just curiously reflective.

The hardest part was turning the top part on the inside. I ended up
grinding long ears on my gouge and using it as a gouge and then a
scraper to clean it up. I have no idea how it is "supposed" to be
done, but it was a tough task nevertheless.

The design is my own, rather than a purchased plan.
It's more awkward looking than I envisioned.

These are the parts that it's made up of:

Soft maple burns if you drag it across the workbench too fast. ;-)

FWIW,
