Balancing Act

Balancing Act.

Briar Burl with Blackwood Base 11" x 7" Finished with wipe on poly and buffed.

The hardest part was deciding where to attach the base so that it looked its best and was balanced right and did not fall over.

As always comments and critique more than welcome. Thanks for looking. Mike

What a gorgeous and delicate piece, Mike. I don't know which I like better, the top or the base. Very well done.

A very beautiful combination of hollowing and spindle work!
