Bleached Maple Ornament

I used two-part wood bleach on the Maple globe, it has been hollowed to less than 1/8” as measured with my homemade wire gage and about 2 ¼” in diameter. I decided I needed to check the thickness with more than my fingers as on my first attempt I made the inside larger than the outside. ☺ The finial and top are made of Cocobolo and make the ornament about 7 ½” tall. The beautiful ornaments Keith Tompkins makes inspired this.
