Ambrosia Maple Southwest Style

11.5 diameter x 5.75 high, sanded to 400 grit and was given several coats of Minwax wipe-on poly. Once the finish was cured, I rubbed the form out using #0000 steel wool so it has a very silky smooth feel to it but with a minimal sheen. I did give it a light coat of Renaissance wax just because I like using the stuff!

As always, your comments, opinions and critiques are appreciated!

Thanks for looking!

Hi Steve: nice to see your pieces posted. I'm fond of this one, because of the color "splash". Very cool vessel.

Thank you both for taking the time to comment - I appreciate it!

Michelle - I just realized that I had forgotten to update my gallery here and had been meaning to do so. Can't believe its been 10 months! Will try to stay on top of it a little more!
