Maple - turned and carved; 9 X 7

Probably the most challenging piece I've ever done. Carving the interior space was a pain in the ***, not to mention my hand - especially after my finger surgery. I entered this for consideration for the Maple Medley exhibit. The wording on the entry form was a bit worrying to me because it seemed as if they were looking for mostly turned forms, but we'll see what happens.

This started out as a hollow form 10 X 7.5 inches with 1.5 inch walls.

Fantastic piece Andi. Glad to see it done after watching the progress videos. If this doesn't get selected for the Acer exhibit, then we need different judges ! I look forward to seeing this in Hartford.
 
Very graceful and detailed. My hands are cramping up just looking at this piece. Beautiful work!
