In album Images of my turned work

I have just completed my submission for the AAW POP (Professional Outreach Program) invitational exhibition, "Ceremony" to be held at the American Association of Woodturning Symposium in Phoenix, AZ June 12 – 14th, at the Phoenix Convention Center. It will be exhibited at the American Association of Wood Art in St. Paul, Minnesota before traveling to Phoenix, Arizona. I will be demonstrating at that symposium.
The piece is turned from African blackwood, surface embellished with egg shell, inlaid with thuya burl and with a 24k gilded egg. It is approximately 6" high, 3" diameter.

Thank you very much +glenda torrence ;-)))
That is an exquisite workmanship.
I like that it has an inner lid as well.
If I were not to look at other photos, I wouldn't be able to tell it even opens up.
Is that real egg's shell or something specific to wood-work terminology ?
Thank you very much +Rekha Rao I'm very pleased that you like this piece.
It is real egg shell. ;-))
Very cool!
Это напоминает работы Фабирже! Очень здорово!
Beautiful work, Steven!!!
Faberge did jewellery masterpieces formed like eggs.. I think +Steven Kennard you reached the same level of mastery on woodworks..
That is absolutely awesome..
Wow! This is an exquisite and precious masterpiece of art! I guess I wouldn't stop letting my fingers paint over it and feel the different structures! and when opened it has much more amazing details! and I also love how the blackwood looks as well as how the thuja root burl looks – the color and the paintings!! Congratulations!!
Spectacular work, +Steven Kennard. My ex-hubby turned for years, so I have an in-depth appreciation for these. I perused the album as well … exquisite, all.
Wow Stevie, you're a wonder!!
fantastic job pictures are great too
Stunning work +Steven Kennard. Very well done, I agree with +Heiko Mahr about the Faberge level of the craftmanship. Can you give us an idea of how long you were working on it?
Absolutely stunning +Steven Kennard. It boggles the mind that you can make something so beautiful out of these materials. And then hide more beauty inside. I can't wait to hear the applause from AAW POP people and I'm sure I will be able to hear it from my home in TO.
Faberge would be jealous!
Glad you like it +Ric Wooldridge
