This is my latest of my burl series. It is another piece or olive that was gifted to me by the lovely Sally Ault. It was sent to me about 2 years ago. It was a lovely piece of wood but its shape was such that it could not be grasp effectively without loosing at lot of the wood. I took me that long to figure how to make the piece without loosing to much wood. This southwest form was perfect for the piece or wood. It is about 6 1/2" x 4 1/2" x a little over 1/8".

A little play on words I call it "Red Neck"

This piece will be in the instant gallery at the symposium.
Alan, that is a beautiful piece. The shape does fit the wood perfectly. Is that a lacquer finish? Did you do the fusion process yourself or did you have someone else do that? I have several pieces that would benefit from that process.

Alan, never mind on my questions here. There are similar ones on WOW and I'll wait for your answers there. Thanks.
