The plain white color of this Black Gum form was a design opportunity; now it is not white and not as boring. I am signed up to take a class with Jim Adkins this fall and made this in an attempt to shorten the learning curve. I certainly learned some things to NOT do.
The dark bands were dyed with Belen "Solar-Lux" red and the lighter areas were dyed with a thinned mix of "Solar-Lux" red and yellow. The lid has a leather "handle" and is connected to a stick of walnut to keep it from being lost. Size is 10-1/2" diameter by 8" high; finish is lacquer with the gloss knocked off (Steel wool). Comments and critiques welcome.
