maple burl

[Dennis Ford]

I had this piece of maple burl sitting on a shelf for about 3 years before I decided what to do with it (usually I turn interesting wood as soon as I get it). The base is walnut, finish is Wipe On Poly. It is about 10 inches in diameter. Comments and critiques welcome.

Dennis - this is a beautiful piece and deserving of multiple images! PLEASE post some showing more of the top of this!

[Dennis Ford]

Thanks Steve, I had a picture of the top but had forgot about it.

Lovely piece, and something different. Nice wood, too.

Wow.. That bowl makes me want to never post a picture here again.. Its amazing.. :)

[David Delo]

Awesome Dennis, you did a great job on one fine piece of burl.

[Rich Aldrich]

What a beautiful piece. You sure did that burl justice. I might try one like that sometime.

Well I'm glad to see you finally sacrificing that super burl. I was afraid termites would get it first. You did it justice and then some--how about some help on a nice soft piece of red mallee burl soon. Really nice original piece.

[David Heathcote]

What a fabulous way to interpret that natural edge.
You nailed a lovely flowing energy in the way you handled the body of the burl too.
No easy trick, that.

Delightful, really.

Remarkable, very unique.

Well done!

Lovely and aptly named too. You did it proud!

It looks like a waterfall coming off a fountain. I keep waiting to see water on the table below it. It even looks like the water is moving in a still picture. Really very cool.

Excellent piece, I love the way you make the wood look like it's dripping off the pedestal. Also your form displays the wonderfully figured wood to maximum effect. Very nice and well done.
