My choice for TOTW for the week of May 9, 2022, is Torus of Swiss Stone Pine by Martin Bauer. I've seen lots of Tori done over the years but this one just strikes me as really clean and well done.

Excellent choice, John, and outstanding work, Martin.
This is one of the things that I have on my woodturning "bucket list" Well, maybe not as elaborate as this one! What a great choice John! Congratulations Martin!

Outstanding selection! Anyone who has done piercing on a light colored wood knows how impressive this piece is!! Nicely done Martin!!
I'm curious how the hollow torus was made. Maybe two halves glued together then pierced? Or was it a solid piece hollowed by passing a tool through the piercings?

Two parts. If you blow up the photo you will see some of the glue lines.
Beautiful piece
