Piece #427 – Maple with Calcite crystals – 7″ by 1″
This free standing medallion is turned from Hard Maple. The outside motif is made up of carved and pierced rose thorns and rose buds. The thorns, leaves and buds are highlighted with pyrography. The buds and leaves are painted with an air brush. Just inside the motif is a Calcite inlaid circle separating the thorns from the rose. The rose is inlaid Calcite crystals with a smidgen of red glass. It is finished with several coats of satin lacquer. As of this date, 3/6/2014 it is my favorite piece.
