first one is an 18"x9" hollow form from bigleaf maple, wall thickness about 3/8, didn't want any thinner since it had lots of spalting and i had to use lots of CA glue to keep it stable.
the second one is walnut burl, a gift from david marks, and the third one is another bigleaf maple piece, burned in the grooves with a wire.
those are about 10" diameter.
finish is a 24 hour bath in my 55gallon watco barrel i use for my norfolk pine turnings, then they dried for 2 days, buffed and then a few coats of a wipe on poly. i usually don't do the real shiny finish, but for those pieces it was a good choice since they took do different after buffing the watco, had a few dull spots. last step was buffing them with renaissance wax
thanx for looking guys
