Elm Hollow Form
« on: February 24, 2016, 11:12:02 PM »
Had a wee break from colouring wood tonight. Just done this plain Elm Hollow Form, 8"x6". Although I was tempted to add some colour I thought the grain was to nice to add anything more.  As always C & C's welcome

I'd say that's a perfect example of when to stop. It's a beautiful piece and rightly, needed nothing adding to it. Good decidion.

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

I think the technical term for this is bloody gorgeous!  Wonderful wood, beautifully turned and finished.
