Maraschino Steps

Rocky Mountain Juniper, i love the color reminds me of chocolate covered cherries. hints the name. roughed out last year and soaked in pentacryl . a year later and no cracks and dry. These steps are selling really good for me so i thought id finish a few . here's one of two.
i forgot to measure before sending it to the gallery.

Beautiful piece and your comment about chocolate covered cherries make me hungry for chocolate and none to be found in the pantry. :D

I'm not familiar with Rocky Mountain Juniper. Does it need to be stabilized?

ha ha that's a bummer .gonna have to run to the store for some cherries . :)
it doesn't need to be stabilized but it's very temperamental . i do rough turn them and give a bath with pentacryl witch helps a lot
i often get cracks witch works good for me cause i use inlay but this one i got lucky and didn't want to add cracks for inlay .
i love it i may try to repeat with same results
