I was not sure about the pattern to start with but when applying the last coat of finish a friend came in and asked how much when I told them they brought it before the varnish had dried need I have worried.
This measures 8" X 2" made from field maple sprayed with ebonising spray and the leaves were done with Jo Sonja iridescent paints and then acrylic satin spray. I turned and sanded the three little feet to help lift this piece rather than my usual flat type bottom.
I ended up taking this photo in sunlight to highlight the pattern

That’s a very nice piece, the little feet are a elegant design touch. Must have taken ages to sand them. Well done.

Thank you all.

The artwork is very nieve in that it was back to school type work in other words patterns cut into a potato but was still good fun I may even try to carve some wooden blocks to use as patterns
