maple hollow form

[mike fuson]

This is a piece from a big ole maple tree that measured over 5 feet through it. Beautiful wood in my opinion, but I don't really care much for the form but kinda had to do what the wood would let me on this one. Measures about 6'' wide and 4 1/2 tall. Conversion varnish finish.

I really like your hollow form. I also noticed the photography is really good. What is your set up for taking pictures of your work. Again really nice job.

Mike,

I like this one a lot! Nice form and great finish! Apple is my favorite.

[Chris Barton]

Very nice Mike! It has a very organic look with the bark inclusions and the holes.

[Gary Garmar]

I like the form, simple but not understated. Can you explain the finish - conversion varnish??

[Mark Cothren]

Fantastic Mike! All kinds of stuff to talk about in that one.

[Tom Sherman]

I like it Mike.

[Mark Pruitt]

Mike, I'm sure glad you were able to pull that out of that tree!:cool:

Nice lookin' HF for sure.:)

[Curt Fuller]

Man, that's a beauty! Some beautiful wood and I can't imagine what it is you don't like about the form. Both are great!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Beautiful hollow form Mike! Love the wood! Very nice work!

[Mike Vickery]

Very nice. Good job keeping that little piece or bark by the opening.

Hey Mike. That HF is beautiful. Excellent form and the wood really does it for me. Well done.
