Elm Burl NE

[Keith Burns]

With all the discussion on Natural Edge pieces I thought I would post one. This is Elm Burl and measures 5" dia. x 5-1/2" tall. Walls at 3/16". Finished with antique oil and buffed. I was very fortunate with this piece as it is now in Hong Kong. Thanks for looking, all comments/critiques welcome.

Wow! What a beautiful piece. Why is it in hong kong?

[Steve Schlumpf]

Beautiful work as always Keith! Love the wood - color, grain and even the birdseyes! Amazed at the bark - quantity, height, and even the arch on the right side! Would be interested in the story as to how this made it to Hong Kong! Had to be somebody famous!

Very nice work Keith - thanks for posting!

Beautiful piece Keith. I assume someone bought it. They got a great piece.

Man that's a beautiful thing.... and to think that it flew by itself to Hong Kong!!!!!!

Thanks guys. I was very blessed with this one. A collector purchased it. You can't imagine how thrilled I was !

[Mike A. Smith]

Gorgeous Keith! And congrats on an impressive sale!

[Brian Poor]

Very, very nice work Keith! Did you use CA to support the bark?

[CW McClellan]

Did you print made in USA on it ?

[Raymond Overman]

That's a beautiful piece Keith. The bark with the different colors in it is awesome. Good job with keeping it all on and congrats on the international exposure.

I've got a couple of pieces with some Toyota execs somewhere on that side of the world too.

Beautifully done on a gorgeous piece of wood Keith! Congrats!

[Chris Barnett]

My eyes must be deceiving me, but....looks like it has three or four sides. If not, really fabulous. And if, still fabulous piece.

[Barry Stratton]

How'd you make it square on a lathe??????? Took a few looks to see it is actually round.:rolleyes:

That is a fine, fine NE, congrats on the sale as well!

[Shane Whitlock]

Now that is sweeeet. Love the bark ... Great job!

Great Piece, Keith!

[Ben Gastfriend]

Really cool! I like how it's taller than alot of the NE's we see! And the streaks in that bark are really something!
