Spiral form on stand

[Dalboy]

Not a new piece but a repair and reposition of the turned spiral form on the plinth.
The spiral is yew and a black ebonising spray inside finished with Acrylis sander sealer and Satin Lacquer and a final polish with wax. The plinth was cut and burnt before adding liming wax and again finished with sealer and satin lacquer with wax final finish.
This piece stands 6" tall or for the younger turners 150mm

I like it. It's an intriguing looking piece.
I look at it and wonder how you made it.
No doubt you will say that it's easy when you know how.

Made from a single piece of yew which needs some careful cutting and exact measuring so that the grain lines up again. I did not take any WIP photos so not easy to explain. Even though it is easy it is time consuming as in the measuring as I just said

There I was admiring you hollowing skills.

That is very nice, well done.
