    mahogany/ebony/spalted maple hollow form

    I posted this to the segmented section of AAW earlier but I wanted to wait to post it elsewhere until I had a better photo. Thanks to Paul Millo, official photographer of the Gulf Coast Woodturners Association, I have this nice image.

    The feature ring of this HF was five spalted maple pen blanks until I decided they would look better not as pens. So, I cut them to make ten pieces and set them in an ebony border. The main wood is mahogany.

    8 inches by 8 inches.

    comments welcome.

    I really like that. What a great use of otherwise unused pen blanks! Really gorgeous.

    The more I look at this, the more I like it! The contrast between the light and dark, between the squares of the body and the rectangles of the pen blanks, the high-gloss of the collar and the low-gloss of the mahogany, yet all pulled together into a single flowing shape. Simply stellar!
