Thread: Curly Willow

    Curly Willow

    I don't turn willow unless it has character (this has plenty of character). It is 9-1/2" tall and 8" diameter, finished with lacquer. I do not sand the inside of most hollow forms but did sand inside this one some (Some areas were very soft and I did not get all the tear-out removed on the inside). Several views shown because it is different on each side. Comments and critiques welcome.

    This piece is stunning. Almost appears to be gilded in areas. Nice job!
