Dan that looks great! That ebony veneer works great with the granite and the finish looks like glass.

Dan,
That is very cool. I really love the depth of the color. I think that there is a whole world of possibilities out there that many of us have been afraid to try because it is out of our comfort zone. My next two tone project will use a cobalt blue over black when I find the right piece of wood.
Thank you for the kind words but I must admit that my inspiration came from the world of guitar makers. Those guys are way out there!

Hi Dan;

No wonder I haven’t heard from you. You have been working! Who’d have thought?

I’m glad to finally get the chance to see this. You’re right about the red dye looking great on the ebony.

This project, on a scale of 1 – 10 is somewhere around a 14!

But then, I would expect nothing less, after having gotten to know you!

The combination of stone and wood is beautiful, as is the finish you achieved.

Great job,

Lee

WOW, Dan!!! That looks sweet! Red die on ebony, that’s a great idea. I love the mix between the ebony and the black galaxy granite!

I was out of town and couldn’t see your marvelous pedestal before!
As you know I’m an apologist of media mixed works and this last project you’ve posted is great!
Congratulations. You are a true artist. I’d like to have your slkills and talent.
I also like to make columns but I never tried to mix marble and wood in these pieces.
I think I’ll copy your inspiring idea. Do you mind?
The ebony looks great with the black granite contrast. And about the shine gloss you achieved it’s just incredible. It looks like a mirror red-brown surface.
I also liked the clever way you used “biscuit joints” in the granite edges to fix the plywood on it.
Thanks for sharing your art with us on LJ’s.

Great looking pedestal. I love the idea of using granite and wood and you did an excellent job. Now I got to get off this computer and do some work myself.
