I've been busy trying to get some pieces finished up for a holiday market thing I'm doing this weekend and next, but I figured I should get some pics of things before I pack them up. I'll show the various pieces over the next few days.
This one is yellow eucalyptus, about 9" x 7", and the wings are between 3 1/4" to 5 1/4" high. It warped so much while drying that there wasn't much wood left by the time I got it trued back up. The walls are about 1/8" thick, although they thicken up a bit towards the bottom. I burned the rim to highlight it a bit. The finish is buffed Formby's Tung Oil Finish. I used Don Pencil's PL compound instead of tripoli, and I'm really liking the results I get with it.
Comments and critiques...you all know the drill...
