Chestnut burr I have been working on. Stained with spirit stains and a gloss finish the edge is gilded with a chemically treated brass leaf giving the edge a brass copper look some little parts show the natural edge through the guiding adding to the piece.

Thank you everyone.

Beautiful :drool: How you managed to keep it in one piece is amazing :thumbs:

Practice and knowing how far you dare push it. Sometimes you get started and just know it is not worth going any further

Skil, expertise and artful eye i that by the bucket spades..

Certainly nice bit of turning, just makes the morning porridge a bit more of a challenge.
