Maple Burl Box

About 4″ tall, 3″ diameter. The interior is about 2″ diameter.

Lid is parted off in an arc, and the top attached with 2 pairs of small magnets. The magnets are oriented so the lid only goes on the “right” way.

Lacquer finish.

Maple Hollow Form

About 9″ diameter and 4.75″ high. Lacquer finish.

I am not sure, but I think the whiter bit is where the tree grew over/around a limb.

Maple Bowl

About. 11″ diameter, 3″ high. Had some small cracks and a couple bug tracks which I filled with red epoxy. Finished with walnut oil.

PatchWork

Hollow Form, probably Maple but I’m not really sure.

It’s about 6″ diameter and 6.25″ tall.

The bark inclusion was just too big, so I got a little guy in to wall it up.

There was a large crack along one side, which I patched with Walnut pewa.

The bricklayer left some bricks in the bottom.
