Mulberry Lace

Started as a demo for my woodworkers club round robin night. Piece is 4.5"h, 4.5"w. Wall thickness is 1/16" or less. Natural edge. Pierced sapwood border.
Higher quality/more photos are available on my website in the gallery.
Your work has really taken off. Keep up trying new technics as it pays off with this work. I especially like the pith area as it adds a more natural look to the piece.
 
Very Nice indeed
Which tool did you use? for the piercing. As william says your going places great work Take care from jeff
 
Hi Jeff, thanks for the comment.
I used the Powercrafter for this, but I am learning that Binh Pho was right, it can't seem to keep up with me. These are quite delicate tools. I'm doing another mulberry vessel with both carving and piercing; the Powercrafter is gagging on it. Binh uses the NSK. I wish it was a bit easier to get hold of. I'm afraid this may croak on me before long.
 
Very nice flow to the piece!
 
Very nice flow .The contrast between the grain and the pieceing works great
Keep them coming
Cheers Terry
