Black Bullet

Made from Ash this pierced piece measures approx 120mm x 100mm Named after a hard boiled sweet my gran used to give me! Pierced using a dremel type tool with a 1mm pointed burr the surface was lightly wire brushed to expose the grain slightly then the piece was coloured with black spray paint

I was concerned after comments on other pieces that queried the idea of covering the natural beauty of the wood by brushing the surface I hoped to allow some of the wood quality to show.

All comments welcomed

Hal thanks for your comment

Thomas it took a while I did it in bits and didn't really take to much notice of the time but it was in the workshop for about 15 days I am getting quicker the last one I did only took a week!

Thanks for commenting

Richard, regarding your concern about painting a piece, I feel that if almost 60-70% of the piece is air, there is very little woodgrain left to obscure. Based on how good this piece is, I don't think you have reason to worry!! Well done!
