spalted blackgum hollow form

[mike fuson]

I did a little something different on this one. It looked kinda boring to me so I tried some stain on it and still didn't like it so I sprayed it with conversion varnish and forgot about it for about three weeks or so, decided to buff it and now I think it looks pretty decent. Measures about 5'' wide and 4'' high.

I got to agree with you Mike, I think it looks pretty decent too x10.

[Bernie Weishapl]

I to have to agree Mike. That is a definite beauty.

[Ben Gastfriend]

Wow! Beautiful. And the finish is real nice. The tall ones look better to me for some reason.

And the photos are great.... but what is that speck there.... you must have something on your lens, Mike... oh, no, that's on my computer screen.:D

Very nice form, beautiful wood and finish! I like the proportions of shoulder height, size of opening and size of foot.

The more I look at it the more I like it!

Saved this one to my favorites file! Thanks for posting!

very nice form and finish.

did you paint the interior black, or is it just in shadow?

that is one nice chunk of wood.

well done.

Wow, there is a lot going on with grain and spalting in this piece. Great job!

[Skip Spaulding]

Looks great! What is "conversion varnish"?

[Gary Herrmann]

Very pretty.

[mike fuson]

Jeffery thats just a shadow on the inside.

Conversion varnish is a cabinet finish.

Thanks for the comments
