Maple H/F

This piece of Maple I found on the side of the road(road kill) last winter after a heavy wet snow.It is 8" wide and a total of 13 1/2" tall with a 4 " African Blackwood finial.I use the same wipe-on poly (clear gloss) on the body (6 coats) and just wax on the finial.Then buffed with the beall system.

This is my favorite of these posts Bob. I think the shape at the top through to the delicate finial is well done, the base of the finial continues the curve smoothly without interruption.

Thanks Thomas,I use a Packard 3/8" detail gouge that I ground the side back so that is very small in the nose of the tool and then ground off some of the bevel on the back and also a very small 1/8" gouge that I did the same thing to that is like a dart.
