Maple - turned and carved; 9 X 7

Probably the most challenging piece I've ever done. Carving the interior space was a pain in the ***, not to mention my hand - especially after my finger surgery. I entered this for consideration for the Maple Medley exhibit. The wording on the entry form was a bit worrying to me because it seemed as if they were looking for mostly turned forms, but we'll see what happens.

This started out as a hollow form 10 X 7.5 inches with 1.5 inch walls.

Well no matter they think, that is one awesome piece. The leaves look so life like.
 
Truly spectacular. Not only the turning and carving, but the graceful composition of the leaves.
 
Andi that is beautiful! Well done,Mike Kehs is the only other turner I know who carves and turns that well! You may have exceeded him! Great work. G
 
Andi that is indeed some delicate carving and what a beautiful piece. You should be very proud.
