A Couple of Stoppers

[olsenla]

These are a couple of stoppers that I turned over the holidays. I am just putting them up now because I just received a photo tent. I know I need a lot of practice with my photos. The first one is Pink Ivory with a Maple cabachon. The second one is BOW. These were both finished with Enduro.

Thanks for looking,
Larry

I like both of them, I'm going to have to try a cabachon in the top of a stopper, I've never done one.

Very nice work and the photos are excellent. May I ask what kind of photo tent did you get and where?? I am looking into this myself. I tried making one but did not like the results.

Two very good choices of woods. The olive wood is one of my favorite looking woods. It just pops.

Larry, like the idea of a maple cabechon on darker wood. I have made a lot with glass or stones but never thought of using a different wood. Good job on both!

cant decide which i like better, next time make a bad one so i can choose between the two....[][]

Both are very clean, very smooth curves. I love them both but think the BOW wins.

BOW wins for me too, fantastic work on both though!! [][]

Wow, two magnificent stoppers. I'll have to try the wood cabs. I have tons of thin cut-off burl material, that will be perfect for that.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone. I'm still trying to learn to take decent pictures to post. I got some good feedback of things to try on the pen photography forum. John, this is the photo tent that I got: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009E3UUY/103-7048576-1127050
