Gems in the rough

Many times I find myself throwing away cutoffs and scraps.  But every once in awhile, you will come across a piece of scrap not meant for the fireplace.  This was one of those times....Was a cutoff of some splated maple I had in the burn box. 

Played around with it on the lathe and this is what I came up with.  Nothing really to exciting about it except the grain and mars on the wood.
