Top in a box

[Randy Rhine]

Spinning top, about 3" dia, in a mostly maple "flying saucer" box. The primary woods in the top are yellowheart and pink ivory, both of which will darken over time with exposure to light. By keeping the top in a box, the colors will stay nice and bright.

I'm giving my lathe away to a more deserving turner. I'm humbled looking at this piece. Thanks for sharing!

[Jonathon Spafford]

Another beautiful piece! The wood combos are great and you have a lot of beautiful detail in the top!

What finishes did you use on these?

[Blake McCully]

You're obviously not "Bored" in Boring, OR. Outstanding work. Who did you make it for? Looks like a lot of love went into that.

[Jeffrey Fusaro]

Thanks for the comments.

Jonathan, I used HUT Crystal Coat on the top and Deft on the saucer box.

It'll be in the instant gallery of the AAW symposium.
