Echoes I

A finialed hollow form in spalted Norway maple and TransTint dyed holly. The finial includes a replication of the hollow form vessel just under the spike. The original block of maple weighed about 55 ounces. The finished piece including the finial weighs 4.5 ounces. This piece is one of the "Black Finial Series" that I turned for the Chesapeake Woodturners' Winter Exhibit.

This slender form is just wonderful and the beautiful finial crowns it in a very special way. Just wonderful Allen.
