A River Ran...

It seems an age since I last posted anything (apologies) I have not been finishing a lot recently and seem to have a host of unfinished unloved projects floating around my head and workshop. This I finished today Its made from Lime and is 120x100mm I sprayed it first and then pierced and textured it.

Very nice. I love it!

Are you using a Dremel tool to pierce it?

Live long, love lots, and turn fast.

this is one of those pieces that I would really like to see in person. Looks like you've done a great job. A nice turning, good finish, and the piercing wood looks good too. Very nice piece of work.

Great piece. I have also been stuck lately Maybe..just maybe this will get me going again. By the way, is there any info on how piercing is accomplished? Type of bits, etc?
