here a flower, my stepdad turned this peice, i just used it to test the dye. i am making one right now thats a little bigger out of maple, for a german exchange student who is going back june first. i thought the cup looked like a flower, and when my dad came back from german for work, he showed me the huge tulip feilds over there. that gave me the idea to make a red tulip, and i threw the rings in there because she was facinated by them when i first showed them to her a couple months ago. so, how do you think the colors are? does it look like a flower?, or did i get a little to much waterlox today?
