    Pierced Cherry HF

    I've been trying to get some things ready for the big Christmas show next weekend. Started on this one a couple weeks ago and worked on the piercing 15-20 minutes at a time, enough to drive you mad. Buffed it this morning while waiting on the peanut oil to heat up in my turkey fryer.
    7 1/2" by 3", Antique oil finish.

    You boiled this one in peanut oil??? That's a new one...

    Excellent work! Great detail! The flat black on the inside really sets off the piercing!

    The mental image of happy hot dogs comes to mind.

    I don't know why, but they do.

    Travis, I don't know if you're CRAZY or just VERY TALENTED, but that is TRUE ARTISTRY in wood!

    Travis, Travis, Travis.

    Just about the time I think I've seen it all, POW there's Travis posting a pic of a most stunning work. Glad you didn't go completely bonkers cutting all them holes.

    I can't see that frying it in peanut oil is going to improve on it's looks at all though.
