Candy - Christmas is coming

[John Spitters]

I think this piece turned out pretty good, at least the wife is happy with it.

She wanted a smaller piece for the coffee table that would hold some Christmas candy.
Maple with some figure, that the colors really brought out.
First dyed black, sanded back then a carmine red. Rim was textured with the dremel and dyed black then several coats of wipe on poly.
9" x 1 3/4"

Boy John that is a beauty. I can see why your wife loves it. Will make a great candy dish.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Great job with the color and finish! I can see why your wife is happy with it! I sure would be!!

[Scott Hackler]

Really well done. I like the fact that you left the inside natural.

[Kathy Marshall]

Very nice! Ditto on leaving the inside natural, looks great.

[John Spitters]

I've still got a number of these maple blanks that I'm sure will take on a similar look but perhaps in a rainbow of colors.
I'm thinking that perhaps they will make for some nice Christmas gifts, pretty simple turning with a bit of embelishment and color, and something that perhaps will be used year round.

The contrast between the inside and the outside is really nice. Great job!

[John Keeton]

John, the color works very well with the natural interior and dark rim treatment. Very nice! Now, you need a green one for the real Christmas look!

[Jim Burr]

Oh boy...I need to refocus...these are amazing John. Bowl tech 5.0 on steroids...just beautiful!!

[Donny Lawson]

That is a beautiful piece. She should love showing it off.
