Holey Ambrosia

This is a piece of Ambrosia maple i got from Doug sharf about a year ago and finally got around to finishing it. I love the way maple cuts it's super nice and when it's finished the Ambrosia really pops .
The holes were some bark inclusions that i intended to fill with inlay but as i was hollowing one of the little bits of bark came off. The natural look really looked nice with this form and i decided to keep it natural.
Also it was a great piece of wood from doug.
Finish is linseed oil
7.3125 in diameter
4.750 tall
Hi Michael, I like turning Maple as well. Take a look at my thread " Inclusion in Maple Wood" May 2, 2018. That is what I'm working on now. Trying to decide if I won't to inlay the inclusion or leave it. Very nice piece Michael, very nice indeed! Well done.
