I'd be interested to know the wood species as well as the finish. I appears that the wood can be carved with crisp detail. There doesn't appear to be be a discernible grain pattern, so I am assuming that the finish obscured the grain pattern. Bravo on another fine piece.

Looks like 2 part bleach after carving, wood could be several things if bleached, guess hard maple. Nice, grows on u the more u look at it.

It is a piece of maple. The wood is turned green and sculpted by transparency with a lamp in it. The wood must dry quickly to have this white color. There is no finish on this piece, no discoloration, no varnish, no wax, no pigments or tint. There is just sanding.

The discoloration eventually turns yellow over time. This is also the case with oil. I think acrylic pigments were the only solution but I like it that way.

How thick are the walls, looking cannot tell, guessing 3/8 to 5/8?
