This piece of walnut crotch wood is about 9" wide and 7 3/4" tall to the tip of the ebony finial. The hollow form was sanded to 1200 grit and finished with Formby's Tung Oil Finish...no finish on the finial. Both the hollow form and finial were buffed with Don Pencil's PL compound and followed up with Renaissance wax.
wow, what a stunner..the walnut is splendid, & I esp. like your finial. Lovely shape to it..restrained & not trying to mimic a spire. Very lovely vessel. A-#1
