Wheel Of Delicacy #4 Mahogany Garden

Wheel of Delicacy #4 Mahogany Garden

This is my fourth one in my series and i think they are evolving nicely.
I got the Honduran mahogany from my mentor jim mclain.
Many hours went into this piece with the turning ,piercing ,the burning , and the coloring.
I had also made a extension for a tiny burr that i could use to reach inside the piece to allow me to clean up some of the glue that drip on the joint , it worked like a charm but a bit stressful reaching through the webbing of the piercing , thankfully it all went ok and me and the piece survived.
Honduran Mahogany
tung oil , piercing wood burning , acryllic paints and faber castel ink for the embellishments.
10" in diameter with a 5.750" inside diameter
and 3.750" wide.
Beautiful, beautiful. I'm trying to do some piercing and just amazed at your work. Not asking for details, just so impressive how you created such a artistic piece.
