This White Birch hollow form is 7.5 in diameter and measures 6.5 to top of the bulletproof glass (acrylic) finial. The form has multiple knots, worm holes and lots of curl. It was dyed with red Transtint, sanded back, given a wash of diluted blue RIT, sanded and then a final coat of red Transtint. The result is that, depending on viewing angle, the piece has a blue, purple, red or pink tint to it! It also helped to make all the curl really pop!
The piece was sanded to 1200 grit and given several coats of gloss wipe-on poly and a coat of Renaissance wax.
