Hello everyone this pieces is made from Maple first turned hollow on the lathe, it finished at 7" x 7". Then the pattern was hand drawn and hand carved. Some pyrography was added for shading then alcohol inks were added for coloring, the final finish is satin lacquer.

This is so beautiful! It's something I want to try now that I have a new rotary tool, but it sure seems challenging.

Thank you so much Scott, I do all of this carving work with knives and gouges, but when using a power tool I use a Dremel with a flex shaft to remove only the large bits the rest is hand carved.

Another striking piece Bruce, of course that is your norm!! The leather cord illusion is too cool and so well done! Eagerly awaiting your next one.
