Woven Maple

Here is one of my recently completed pieces. I am back into full turning mode (trying to prep for SWAT and a pending HF trade) and so I have 6-8 pieces in varying states of completion. This one was turned from some silver maple blanks I had left after a demo I gave at the local turning club. I had actually forgot that I had a couple of these blanks left and recently discovered them again! Cool thing is that they were green when I sealed them the night before the demo and they have long since dried so I was able to turn to finish without worrying about warpage.

This silver maple is about as boring as can be, so..... I broke out the Burnmaster and got to work.

About 6 1/2" tall and 3 1/4" wide. Black dye on the outside and satin lacquer to seal it up. African blackwood finial.

Comments and critiques are encouraged. Thanks!
That is really a nice piece Scott. I love the pattern that you used and also, I think you have that finial perfected. I love the smooth elegant lines.
 
Thanks fellas. Hal the pattern was branded onto the form 1 line at a time. Meaning 5-6 lines burnt in vertically and rotated 90 degrees and repeat. Of course the number of lines decrease in each block as the diameter get smaller!
 
lovely job Scott, the form is spot on, realy like the rising (up from the neck) finial.
Very nice indeed
Pete
