Poppy

[Neil Lawton]

Just sprayed with Lacquer and yet to decide on a base. Turned on 3 centres.
Turkey Oak stained red with an Ebony button. Ash veneer, Sycamore, and a twig sprayed green for the stem and leaf.

Brilliant. Is that the natural edge of the turkey oak, or did you have to "help" it a little to get the shape?

 

[silver]

Stunning Neil, skills to be proud of.

I think it would look nice with an engraved Oak base.

Vey nice Neil love it should the leaf be pointing to 11oclock m8

I used a fine saw blade to texture where the petals were cut in then burnt the areas to match the darker edge.

I actually didn't know that Woody. I just positioned the leaf as the one I bought!
