>This is piece that I just compleated. It is a Spalted maple hollow form with a removable ebony finial. 8.5"x5", about 3/32" thick, and finished with lacquer. Because of the amount of spalting I found it necessary to use CA glue to stableize a few arias. The idea was to copy a drop of dew about ready to fall from a branch.

>Hi Gary,
Outstanding! I know it is an over used expression but in this case it does not seem to say enough about this wonderful turning. I like simple lines and the vessel is perfect in my opinion. It puts the figure of the wood on display.
Thank you for sharing.
