Fine Woodturning by Tony Manella

 

 

#22 Decorated Maple Bowl

I collected this piece of red maple last winter, it had been cut down for a new car dealership. While most of what I took had the beautiful brown streaks from the Ambrosia Beetle, this piece was just clear wood. I opted to dress it up a bit by using my new woodburning tool to make some lines on the outside. I then colored the pattern using Prismacolor markers. I like the result and will be trying similar things on other pieces. I used my usual tung oil finish which was then buffed using the Beal system.
