Popular Post Ron Altier Posted November 1, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 This is one of my better turnings. I had a piece of firewood from an old apple tree and saw some spalting in it. I combined some exotic wood rings in it and it came out beautiful. I am not good enough to hollow out something like this and if I was, the spalted apple would not holdup, it was pithy. lew, Steve Krumanaker, Gerald and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadio Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 (edited) Ron, that is absolutely beautiful. It looks to my first sight as palm trees hanging over water reflecting the image. Outstanding piece. Spalted apple gives the most interesting effects. Good picture too. Herb Edited November 1, 2016 by Dadio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Krumanaker Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Very nice Ron. As it happens I did a similar piece out of spalted sycamore. Similar in shape as I didn't add the exotics which really add to your piece. For mine I just drilled a hole down through the center and the wife sometimes puts dried flowers in it.

lew Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 That's gorgeous! Are the dark rings burned or are they thin pieces of black wood? Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Altier Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Lew, they are burned. I like the look of the contrasting rings and the black burn added a lot also Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
