Spalted Maple Turnings

Project by DocK16 posted 507 days ago 401 views 0 times favorited 10 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I’ve been hanging around the lathe this weekend. Some spalted maple turnings, sorry I couldn’t get the detail to come out real well on the pics. There is a knot through the norrowest part of the neck which broke during turning and had to glue it twice to get it to hold. I almost tossed it in the scrap box. These were finished with two coats of tung oil and then polished with the Beale Finishing/Polishing System.

Dock,

I agree with Betsy. These are gorgeous pieces. The finish looks really good.

Thanks for the post.
