This is Elder. It was my first experience of turning it, and I don't think I will again... unless the next piece is as dry as a bone. This piece had only been cut down about a year ago, so was still wet. It also really didn't smell great, and on top of that the wood dust is supposedly poisonous.
Anyway, I'm please with how this piece turned out. I wanted to do another hollow form after my Ash one went viral earlier in the year. Link to that video: • Woodturning - Ash Crot...
I sanded the piece to 1000 grit and finished it with Danish Oil. As you can see it started to crack throughout the project. I'm going to leave it in a box of shavings for a bit and comeback and give it a few more coats of finish once the wood has settled a bit more.
Let me know what you think!

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. I am still relatively new to woodturning and some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest. When using any tools or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines.
Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practise. The gloves I wear are tight fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT do anything you don’t feel comfortable doing.
