Peace Dove pierced into a Sycamore plate with an airbrushed blue rim. Filled in the olive branch with Sakura crystal acrylic so any light shining through it is tinted green. Around 6" (15cm) across. Finished with EM6000 waterborne lacquer.

I like this one, Eric!! Good choice of wood to not fight with the piercing, too. Nice work on the rim and color faded onto the plate.

I like this one too! Great creativity there. Grain direction with the direction of the dove is really cool, and the color too! How thin did you get that bottom?

Thanks everyone!

Steve - The bottom is around 1/8" thick, there is no foot to allow for uniform thickness of the pierced area. This is a new trend for me to go footless for this reason.
