Title: No Name Yet
Post by: Derek on May 19, 2019, 07:04:12 PM

Finish one of two pieces should have the second finished either tomorrow or the following day.
Still to give it a name. Inspired by Keith Tompkins from another site.

The spiral is Yew and the base is Oak scorched and lime waxed. sealed with sander sealer and finished with woodwax22.
Some very careful turning to match up parts. It stands 8 3/4" tall and 3" at its widest

Derek,

as a piece it is totally captivating, especially trying to understand how it was made.

But i think the base is a little overpowering for the actual work you are displaying on it.

Thank you Bryan certainly a challenging piece to make getting all the pieces of the spiral to line up and blended to each other. Also cutting the pieces so that all the grain lines up but I enjoy working things out most times
