I have experimented with this shape before, and I think this time it came out quite well. This is a piece of some maple species that, if memory serves, came from Steve Earis (seventhdevil on the forum). Could be field maple. With beautiful grain like this, there is not much point in complicated shapes or colours. It's about 11" across and 1.5" high. Finished in wax.
This piece now lives in our lounge, and my wife will not let it go.
As usual, all C&C welcome.
