This is from a piece of silver maple. I turned and hollowed this piece the day after it was cut. As I hollowed the piece out I used compressed air to drive the “free” water from the piece. A walnut decorative ring was added to the opening – this helps the piece from going oval. The piece is 10 inches high and 5 inches across at the widest point. Wall thickness is just less than 3/8”. The top is a piece of cherry with a contrasting band of walnut. I dyed the vessel with blue anline dye followed by green anline dye. When the dye was completely dry I spray the vessel with crushed stone followed by two coats of high gloss spray.

Great turning. I’ve never heard about spraying crushed stone. Is it a store bought product off the shelf or something you have conjured up? Whatever it is it certainly is beautiful and different!

I used Krylon Make It Stone textured spray paint followed by Krylon Make It Last clear coat sealer. Both products are available at Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Lowes and Hobby Lobby. The textured spray paint comes in several colors.
