"Twins"
Multi axis turning.
Wood: Eucalyptus (blue gum)
Length: 340mm
Width: 140mm
Height: 45mm
Texture: Pyrography and iridescent paint finished with lacquer. Vessels oiled.

The inspiration come from my toru series but I wanted to incorporate leaves into the design and have only two vessel instead of three. I'm pretty happy with the result and will do a bigger version.

That's a beauty, Robbie. Did you paint the leaves black before applying the iridescent color?

Thanks Pete and Don.
Don, I didn't this time and usually do but it was quite black after the pyro work anyway.
Cheers, Robbie
