At last month’s Chesapeake Wood turners meeting, the daughter of one of the members demonstrated how to use a woodburner and dye to create a landscape scene on a platter. I am no artist but wanted to try something simple on a couple pieces of punky red maple.

9 ¼ x ¾ x 1/8
Thought the leaf could be a bit larger so tried again.

11 x 1 x 1/4
Burned with a writing tip followed by Transtint dyes and Deft rattle can lacquer (along with my signature orange peel).
Not sure yet who is going to get stuck with them this Christmas!
