A nod to Dave ( Ellsworth NOT Cameron !!!)

[TWiG]

With obvious similarities and inspiration by Mr Ellsworths scorched H/F's  ..I have used a crotch from an Ash tree and after scorching I sanded through the char in the most intense areas of figuring to reveal the underlying grain , before burnishing . oiling and buffing ...I have a few others almost finished and wood for several more put aside .... I find a scorched piece ( this is not my first ) always sits well in a display with other more conventional R&B pieces .. ( this one is approx 12-13" tall ) Terry .

Terry,

having read Ellsworth's book, I can defiantly see both the inspiration and know the series that gave rise to it.

Excellently done.

Many thanks to everyone ......... I am really enjoying scorching wood at present , i find it is a great way of make a fairly plain piece of wood much more exciting ( usually !)  I have some other projects on the go involving scorching including some furniture , some in collaboration with another craftsman / artist.. Terry .

Great work Terry I love the effect of the grain showing through

Something else to put in my book to have a go at.

Happy New Year
