The first completed pieces for 2013

The " chiton" piece is finished at last. It came out rather well I think. the piece is about 150 mm high in this orientation. Stained with two different colours - a first for me.
The process for this piece will be laid out on my website soon. Watch out for that on Andrew's Website

Made from an unknown wood it's about 120 mm dia. Stained in the same manner as the piece above.

A piece that has been shown on this blog whilst in progress. I started life as a hollow form with a flat on the side hence the need for inprovisation
It's made from Johannesburg Gold and stained. It's about 150 mm dia though oval.

A piece finished without any embellishment. Made from Johannesburg Gold - it's about 180 mm tall. It really shows some interesting grain patterns.
