"Scalez"

[akbar24601]

This is one that I had made some time ago. I had screwed up the finish on it so I never posted it and it sat dormant. I have always been very fond of it. I am very pleased with the way that it turned out. I really like the boldness of what look like large scales on a Carp. So, today I disassembled it and redid the finish.

This is Maple with Black Veneer. CA finish.

Thanks for lookin'. Any and all comments welcome.

Reminds me of one of those Chinese finger traps we used to have as a kid. Nice work.

You know, I never really thought about it before but, you're right! It is reminiscent of the Chinese finger cuffs!!!
