This turning is part of my ‘Primitive’ series where the emphasis is on form and the final finish is matte.
Maple, 15” high x 11” diameter x 5/16” thick. Finish is gloss poly, then using 0000 steel wool to cut back the gloss to get a matte look. There is one crack in the piece… which does not go to through to the inside of the form. A branch had grown through that area and once turned, only the area closest to the original pith cracked. This piece was too large to fit in my photo tent… so one additional photo has been provided to show that the piece was hollowed!
