Here are my 2 pieces for the art challenge, had to get them done before the deadline! The utility piece is a nice bowl turned from spalted Red maple, 11 1/4" x 3 1/2" natural danish oil finish buffed to a soft sheen. The art piece is a Spalted Hard Maple burl with voids and bark 12 1/2" x 8 1/2" with a vine "Growing" through it, I call it "JUNGLE SURVIVOR" it is also finished with danish oil and buffed out a bit. The total height is 39" and the base is 12x7 and is self supporting. I think it is fun!
