Steve it is 9 1/2" wide and 6 1/2" tall. I did a wipe on ploy which took about 12 coats to finally quit soaking into the end grain. I then buffed with the beal system.

Beautiful work Sparky! You sure caught that Maple at the perfect time! Love all the color variations! Best of luck with the auction!

Sparky that is a beauty. Really nice wood. Should do well at the auction.

That really is a beautiful piece, your form looks really nice to me and the wood is just beautiful. Your finish is also very nice. Great job.

Thanks all! Should be interesting to see how much it goes for. Haven't done the charity auction thing before. This is the second piece out of that block of wood and I have two more logs of it that I should get 4 more out of. I need to get some blanks cut out and roughed out for Christmas presents. Also to try out my new monster rig! (Stealth gloat).
