    Box Elder Hollow Form

    Here is a piece of box elder I got from Jim at the BBQ that really has some pretty nice figure and curl along with an inclusion. It is 7" x 6" and is just under 1/4" thick. Finished with Watco and buffed with all 3 wheels. I'm happy with this one. The top is Wenge.

    Thanks Jim and Thanks for looking.

    Yeah Dick, I'd say you should be happy with it! I know I sure as heck would be!!! Great looking piece and beautiful finish. I guess it helps that you started out with a terrific piece 'o wood, too!

    Nice piece of wood. I feel if the base was smaller it would look "lighter" and less "clunky". Forms like this need an uplifting look to them, not squatty. They are just more eye pleasing that way.

    Way to go, Dick! I would say the the DVR is agreeing with you very well. Most excellent and I like the wenge collar.

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Nice piece Dick. BTW, a tip given to me when I started doing collars and was concerned with wood movement was to place the collar so the grain ran parallel with the grain on the base. Looks like the DVR is serving you well!
