Bowl of Autumn Leaves

This block of Ambrosia Maple 'spoke' of autumn leaves, well along in their process of spalting and returning to the soil. To create the leaves I turned a half-twist bowl (round on the bottom and multi-axis on the top) and then carved the twisted section into a sequence of leaves. The beautiful grain emerged as I applied a Watco oil finish (the finish is always my favorite part of the process...). Diameter is 5 1/2 inches and height is 5 inches.

Thanks Martin, but as is most often the case, the wood (and its interesting grain patterns) is the real 'master'
