Hole in one

Another save by the â€œWeird Artsmanâ€ (after 70 years I kind of like that name guys and gal) Willow 2.25â€ x 7â€. This thin turning had a bit of a bark inclusion that fell out while sanding (the hole). I kind of liked the shape and after looking at it on and off for about a week decided to embellish it like a golf course. Of course it then needed a golf ball, which was a pain to embellish and paint. The finish was several very light wipings of green artisan dye and blending into the grain pattern then about 5 coats of home brew wipe on poly and beal buffed.

I really like the "golf course" - complete with "trap" - and the dye job; the golf ball not so much. A very impressive piece.

What can I say, some people just have talent! Others (like me), have to develop it. I like this piece very much! Very original idea
