That is really nice I like it a lot and would like to know how you got the effect but will not be cheeky and ask.

Hi George Thank you

The spirit stain was just wiped on with cloth about 4 coats drying over night between coats. The blue was mixed darker for the inside.

George must be losing his touch!....Seriously, Ed, it's an amazing bit of ripple in that burr and the different densities in the wood really show through. An ace piece.

Stunning piece Ed. On a side note did I just see another of your pieces in Woodturning magazine?

I'm biased, I love coloured work. And this is stunning.

Ed, you got this one just right.
