This was roughed out as a platter blank but I made it into a wall hanging during final turning. Used Belen's "Sol-Lux" dyes to dye the top red and the bottom blue, after sanding that back a little, sprayed the whole thing with yellow. Finished with lacquer, just over 15 inches in diameter. A knot above the crotch figure inspired the theme and became the "moon".
This is a small part of the first river birch that I have worked with, it is well behaved wood with really nice crotch figure and rather bland straight sections.
Comments and critiques welcome.
