Finished this one not long ago. I feel it is my best so far. What do you think? All comments and constructive criticisms welcome.
Maple with just a touch of spalting. 17" x 2 1/2". Antique oil and then Beal buffed.

This next one is a piece of cherry from my back yard. I had the tree taken down and found that ants and various other assorted bugs had taken up residency. This was a thin slice taken off of one of the bigger pieces. As you can see it was full of critters so I soak it in DNA for a week or so and then turned it to finish and let it warp.
Makes me think of a sunset in the desert.
14 1/2" x 5/8" - Danish oil

No way it holds soup, it would have trouble holding nuts! :D
