This is a very interesting burl, soft and fragile due to the resin inclusions. Oilded and buffed stands around 10" with Gidgee collar.
A gift for our niece in MD
Overall size is 2"H x 5.5"D. The collar is an eight piece ebony ring, turned on the bottom, glued on, and finished turned. The bottom has a 1 1/2" flat.
This is a hollow form I turned from a piece of cherry. I didn't like the grain on it so I coated it with black gesso and then burnished the ridges to make them shiny which makes a nice contrast to the matte finish in the recesses. I couldn't get a good detail photo, but it makes a nice textured...
About 5 x 2 inches. The finish is General Finishes' Seal-A-Cell and buffed with the Beall system. I have been trying to make these collars as thin as possible. I like the way they finish off a piece. Now I look at some of my first collars and they look real clunky. All comments welcome.
about 4 in. x 6 in. Maple Burl with an Ebony Collar. About 4 x 6 inches. I saw this block of wood at Woodworker's Source but didn't buy it. I went back the next day and it was still there and it came home with me. I could tell it would have awesome figure. Finished with General Finishes...
8"D x 5"H. This piece has great spider shaped cracks at the pith. It was given as a 50th wedding anniversary gift to a relative from who's property I got the wood. The cracks are filled with ebony sanding dust and CA.
