    Red Planet

    Here are a couple of pictures of a new planet I discovered. This planet is made from Maple Burl with some dye. This piece measures 21" at it's widest, 16" tall and the planet is @ 4 1/2 in diameter. Finished with WOP.

    This could be considered artistic and functional. Planet frisbee anyone?

    Well that's certainly thinking outside the box! Pretty cool stuff! Great looking woods! Really like the red dye - great effect!

    Nice work! Thanks for sharing!

    As a wood-turner and an astronomy buff, I think that is really cool. Great looking piece of art work.
