Spiral form on stand

[Derek]

Not a new piece but a repair and reposition of the turned spiral form on the plinth.
The spiral is yew and a black ebonising spray inside finished with Acrylis sander sealer and Satin Lacquer and a final polish with wax. The plinth was cut and burnt before adding liming wax and again finished with sealer and satin lacquer with wax final finish.
This piece stands 6" tall or for the younger turners 150mm

The skill in making these forms goes without saying, but what also works well for me is the hefty weight of the stand and the delicacy of the form perched on top of it. It's a combination that I like.

Thank you Les. I was a little concerned about the top to base ratio as the original top was a little larger before having to modify it due to damage(Which was down to me)

[Valkrider]

Very impressive, looks good and in proportion to me.

Derek, I take my hat off to anyone that can do these sorts of turnings. Love it

[Derek]
