While at the County Fair, between turning tops for kids I made a few boxes. One is the end of a maple top blank the others from wet mahogany (one with a curly maple lid turned later). The pyrography was done at home except for the flowers. A local pyro artist did those at her booth while at the fair.
308943308944 turned wet from mahogany. 3 1/2" wide and 3" tall. The knot pattern on the side is from the Lidisfarne Bible plate 29. Finish is Krylon Satin Acrylic spray over sanding sealer. The blank was leaking water whle I hollowed it with my hook tool.
308945308946From Dry maple 'top blank'. Flower pyrography by Judith Suit, a local artist. Approximately 2" diameter x 2 1/4" tall. Finish is Krylon Satin acrylic spray.
308947Spalted mahogany with curly maple top. This blank was partly dry. About 3 3/4" diameter by 4 1/2" tall. Finish is just lacquer sanding sealer.
C&C welcome of course.
