Stunning

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thank you! 😊

[@Cleveland.Ironman]

Very, very lovely! What causes the wood to be spalted?

[@MartinWoodhead]

Thanks for watching, spalting is the result of fungus starting to break down the structure of the wood. 😊

[@HeckingtonArts]

Beautiful Martin

[@MartinWoodhead]

Many thanks! 😊

[@SiamWoodShop]

Nice Work

Thanks for the visit! 😊

[@jolox.]

Nice job! Maybe you should double check that firewood pile before burning anything!

[@MartinWoodhead]

That's automatic, I cannot pick up a lump of wood without assessing its potential! 😊

[@adriamiraguilar]

Spectacular turning, Martin. I’m constantly amazed at the delicate cuts you can make. Perfect! If I may ask, what was the finishing spray it on there. It is absolutely beautiful!

Happy turning,

[@MartinWoodhead]

It's acrylic varnish Gord. I find oil based finishes turn sycamore very yellow. although the acrylic can be problematic in these cold conditions! 😊
