Here is a piece I made to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday. It is made from Canadian maple, dyed using a stain from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Textured with the Robert Sorby texturing tool, and the textured highlighted using a silver metallic gilding cream. The Maple leaf in the bottom was made by a silversmith friend of mine from an antique serving tray from the 1930's. A hole is drilled in the base of the bowl, the maple leaf is glued in place using CA glue and then the hole is filled using clear epoxy. The bowl is then placed in a pressure pot for 8 hours to rid the epoxy of bubbles.
