    maple burl HF

    Here is a HF I finished up last week. It is 9 1/2" in dia turned to around 1/8" and finished with lacquer. Turned from local maple burl I got last year. Jack

    Now that's a sweet hollow form, Jack. I've seen some as good but none better. Bullseye!

    Nice job Jack. You did an exceptional job. And that is a small entry hole. Keep up the good work.

    Gorgeous wood and the form is spot on.

    Beautiful form Jack, and some awesome wood! I also like the soft finish.
