1st winged piece

This is the first winged form I've made. It started as an irregular slab of maple burl with a natural edge. I bandsawed three sides to get the rectanglar shape. It's 8 1/2" long x 5" wide. The wing is 3/16" thick. It sits 3/4" high. It is finished with lacquer, although it still needs buffed. First time I've used lacquer. I used negative scraping that Stuart Batty has been promoting for the finishing cuts on the wing and it worked really well. This is the one I posted a while back in rough form trying to show the finish left by the negative rake scraping

That's very pretty Keith. It looks as if the edge has been moving and left a nice wavey appearance.

Keith, great looking square bowl. Nice wood too.

Knowing it's only 3/4" high makes me appreciate the scale of the bowl. I find myself making the bowl bigger as I make more of these, until it almost reaches the sides. To me that makes the wings more pronounced. I need to try some sort of neg. scraper soon.
