Gorgeous - congrats! 
Yes 

How many hours are put into that project?  Would be a nightmare if done on a scroll saw, I suspect -

It really wasn't much work or time. Used the bandsaw to take off a thin slice of a burl. Ran it through the drum sander a few times. The piercing was somewhere between an hour and a half and 2 hours. Spray lacquer from a rattle can.

Cool.  Mallee can be VERY hard.

With the irregular shape was it hard to slice on the bandsaw?

It was a little hairy but sat pretty good on 2 spots while pushing down and in toward the fence. Took some clean up on the drum sander after.
