Walnut Hollow form

[Dalboy]

The first piece completed in 2020. Felt good to be able to start again in the shed after the festive break. I just needed something simple to start the year.

Hollow form from spalted walnut. Quite punky in places but managed to stabilise. Decided to add a lid and final. I think it could be displayed with or without top.
C & C welcome

That's lovely, Derek. I've not seen spalted walnut like that before. Great piece of timber.

That's lovely, Derek. I've not seen spalted walnut like that before. Great piece of timber.

Derek, that is stunning. I am no artist and I don't really have any artistic flare, so my work tends to be on the plain and simple side and, for the time being, I am quite happy with that. One day I will make something like this and I would be very proud of it.

Well done and you say that's simple!! That finial is outstanding.

Cheers
Frederick

The finial is made up of bits that I made and did not look right on the piece they were originally made for I keep a bag of them. Nothing wrong with them just they did not suit the piece at the time but for this one, it was a match I thought was a good one.

That is stunning Derek, you didnt forget anything over the Christmas brake.

After Christmas, I found it in the middle of the accelerator and clutch peddle

Congratulations on the WOW cover Derek!
