Wood Turning

[smbwood58]

Heres a spalted pecan and peach candy dish i made this weekend.It's 6 1/2" x 5" with a 4" finial. Wish i had a better contrast of woods. Also the top was made of a small (thin) crotch piece of wood, so didn't have a lot to work with.

All comments welcome as always.

Very nice look for grain ans spalt. Is the stem a glued in piece?

[smbwood58]

Gerald thanks. No the stem is part of the main dish.

"Wish i had a better contrast of woods."

Beautiful!  I think the wood, itself, provides plenty of contrast in this case.

Wow! Very nice work and a great looking chunk of wood. I love spalted. Nice job.

Gerald this is one very nice candy dish. You can bet I will not show my wife this photo as she will want me to try to make her one.  Roger

That is a nice looking candy dish. Where did you get that large spalted chunk of wood from ? All I see advertised is small chunks.
