Swirly Ash HF

Here is the last piece I completed. This was done as my end of a turning trade with Dave Walters in Australia.

This piece of ash was turned to shape, sandblasted and finished with 4-5 coats of tung oil. The finial is African blackwood (of course)!

Approximately 6" wide x 9" tall (I am only guessing since I forgot to measure it before sending it to Australia)

Comments and complaints are encouraged! Thanks

very nice piece.
just curious...do the swirls go the other way once it gets to Australia?

Thats a great deal Scott, hope there are no traces of the little buggers still in there as they might cause problems at the border.
The form is spot on with a finial to match :)
 
Scott Hackler
It made it through customs just fine and Dave has it now. Whew! I did sandblast most traces of the little buggers away though.

Thanks for all the comments.
