    Default "Rising From The Ashes"

    "Rising From The Ashes"
    This piece is made from Ambrosia Maple that was first laid up from three pieces, consisting of three inch thick slabs 9" x 16" and then turned on the lathe. Once the form was achieved, it was turned to various thicknesses to accommodate the carving that was to be done. After sanding the form. my design was hand drawn with pencil and sealed with lacquer. The entire drawing design is my own original creation. Then the carving began using knives, gouges and a Dremel with bits and burs. The color was achieved from a product called Rub N Buff. The piece's final dimension is 7 inches by 13 inches tall.

    An impressive piece, more so now that you have coloured it.

    Rub n Buff might have a use for that in a large piece I'm doing presently thanks for the heads-up

    As a piece it's not my cup of tea BUT I do acknowledge the creative artistic merit and the skill to achieve such an interesting piece
