Small Treasures
Keith Tompkins
>Here are some images of a few pieces I made for the "Small Treasures" exhibition, scheduled to open in March.
I don't know how to enter more than one photo at a time, so bear with me.
the first image is a spin-top in it's storage base, with the pull- handle installed. the second photo is of the top spinning. The top is spun by wrapping a string around the top, and pulling, while holding the handle.
The base is ebonized maple, the top is holly and ebony. The finish is semi-gloss lacquer. Note the foot of the spinning top in the second photo. It is actually a tiny hollow form of ebony.
