This is black cherry, probably crotch wood. There's some beautiful flame and curl in the wood. It's about 5" x 5". Finished with Formby's Tung Oil finish, then buffed and hand-rubbed with Renaissance Wax.
STUNNING!
The colors and figure took my breath away.
The shape well supports them... (or words to that effect)
I'm not sure, I may have liked the other picture better, but this thing probably looks good from any angle. I DO like that splash of sap wood, really grabs the eye!
Great finish too.
Your photography in both instances is excellent, it almost looks like a painting.
Many thanks for the kind words (twice), George. I had a tough time deciding which of several pictures to post. Every few degrees of rotation shows off something different in the figure. I consider myself very lucky to have found this piece of wood.
