This shell was completed January 2008.  It measures nine inches maximum diameter, six inches wide, and makes almost two turns.  It is made from Aromatic Red Cedar (or Juniper) which is only found in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Missouri in this color.  Other types of Cedar also exist in other states, but don't have the same color heartwood.  A friend of mine who runs a sawmill told me that the most correct name for this particular wood is Aromatic Spruce which was a new one on me.   Notice there is no hole through the center, I like this look better than my older shells.
