Another wee Hollow Form
« on: January 07, 2017, 09:52:41 AM »
Here's another wee hollow form I finished. 9" x 4.25" in sycamore with an African Blackwood finial and collar. TBH though the finial looks slightly short to me so I might have to re-do this one.  Finished with Chestnut stains and lacqured. C & C's welcome

Another cracking piece, you have had a productive January haven't you.....!!
The first piece, what struck me about it was the finial, great proportions and design.
With "Another wee Hollow Form", I think the collar and wider parts of the finial need to be fractionally wider, maybe a little longer as well but I think it's the width that makes is look slightly out of proportion. Take what I say with a pinch of salt though as photo's never quite do a piece justice.

Great work though and superb finish....both pieces.
Cheers
Rick

Gary,

the way your use of colour is bringing out the figure in the timber and makes the flame show really works for me.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…
