Pix of some recent work.
Spalted maple vase - 9 x 4 1/4; shellac finish. Hollowed freehand with larger Ellsworth tools. LOML suggested it would look better with a foot.
Candlestick - 9 x 2 7/8; one coat AO, Bealled with wax only. Was going to be an Olsolnik style piece, but somewhere along the way in got a bit more curvaceous.
Cherry burl bowls 3 x 6 1/2 and 2 1/2 x 6 1/2. one coat of Behlen topcoat lacquer (rattle can) - more coats on the way. These are from the cherry burl I posted a couple of months ago. The color is more correct in the second picture.
Goblet - red oak 7 x 2 1/8 - no finish yet. A riff from a You Tube video eccentric goblet 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW7lG_z2q1U)
