Your work is nice, this piece has some nice color to it but alittle about the piece would really be nice as well, as in size like the W and H and what you used as a finish.

Originally I intended to give the details, got distracted and ever completed my submission. The piece is from a mognolia that was killed by Katrina but didn't fall until 2010. As most people remark, Magnolia is a very plain wood, mostly white. Spalting does amazing things to Magnolia. The piece was 10" high very thin. I started using my Jamison hollowig rig to get a feel for thiness. I finished it with tung oil (several coats) and buffed it with a beal system. Thanks for the commets.
