Hello All,
This is my first project post since joining. This piece is11" tall and 8" at the widest - the grain and colors amazed me! I finished it with my new favorite oil (Odie's Oil) and 8 light coats of spray lacquer. C/C welcomeIMG_0789.jpgIMG_0791.jpgIMG_0792.jpgIMG_0793.jpgIMG_0796.jpg

Lovely form and finish! I just love the smell of camphor--my wife, sadly, hates it when I work with it. Nicely done!

Wow! Both thewood and workmanship are stunning. Just realized that's some of that smelly floriadean wood. This is just backyard trees down there guys. Nauseating.

The fantastic wood is matched by what you did with it.
