Troubled Seas

This is my first real shot at woodburning other than a couple little cherries on an older piece. I wanted just the right wood for this and man, did I luck out! All the waves and background are all natural maple wood. Only the 2 colored rings and the wood burning itself were done by me. It's 15" diameter and finished with Tung Oil. I think I'll need a name for this...any ideas?
Thanks for looking and all comments welcome, Don L.
Great work Don. Beautiful ship and the natural waves in the wood compliments it 100%. It's like this was what the wood was meant for and you made it happen. I like it.
 
Wow Don that is excellent, what a way to use the natural grain. Very well done.
 
Stunning Don and by the amount of comments everyone else likes what you saw in the grain
Congratulations
 
Don, you are the man! This is fabulous. I am expecting to see this on the cover shortly. Your talent is boundless man!
 
Wow! With comments like this from Terry and Mike (and the others) I'm likely to get a swelled head. Nah, that's not me. Anyway, thanks so much, It really means a lot to me to read comments like these.
Thanks again, Don L.
 
A very creative use of the grain! Well done!

What about Acer Asea?
