Message:: [QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 4494667, member: 76316"]Nothing left of the suspensor material but its outline...which some fool tried to obliterate with a magic marker. The appearance of the unmolested areas is of perhaps a light coating of some form of asphaltum or similar material which also coated the suspensor net. This wasn't turned on a lathe, as there are diametral anomalies inconsistent with that possibility. The wood grain is visible, but not at all familiar to me. Note the two-toned nature of the exterior bottom, with a distinct red center. Rim wall thickness (about ¼") also varies somewhat. There is a lot of use-wear everywhere; interior walls & floor, exterior bottom & walls. This thing was used...but for what? The center of the slightly convex, un-enhanced bottom is the center of the tree, or limb it was crafted from. There is no interior evidence of its use as a liquid receptacle, so I wonder about the need for the black exterior covering, which doesn't extend to the bottom. Interior depth is ~6½", rim height is ~7⅛", major diameter is ~5¾", the foot is ~4" to ~4⅜" diameter. It weighs 13 oz. An' thats all I know about it! Y'all's views are eagerly sought! Thanks...
