DSC_0075.jpgDSC_0081.jpg Walnut 14" X 5 3/4" a hair over 1/8" thick wall thickness . I roughed this piece out a little over 5 yrs ago when I 1st started hollowing. Later realizing it's a poor form I never bothered to do the finish turning of it. Then one day I was looking for a piece to practice some pyrography & use of inda ink on so I thought this would be a good piece to practice on since it wouldn't really bother me if I screwed it up. I've only attempted pyrography on 2 other pieces.
I thought the burning went fairly well so I went ahead and finished the piece with acrylic artist paint, india ink & a High Gloss varnish. Sorry about the poor picture. I couldn't seam to get a picture with out a heavy shadow & hot spots form my cheap lights.
Some times it's nice to have some pieces around to practice new & different techniques on that your not afraid to screw up
