This is the Lotus design by Lois Ventura.
The right side is around 13" tall, the left is around 11". This is probably the only one of this design I will ever do. Sanding with sandpaper wrapped around fingers is no fun.
The finish is a couple of coats of Golden Oak Danish Oil followed by several coats of Natural Danish Oil, then waxed after a few days drying.
Thanks for looking.  | | Views: 342 | |

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Wow,
I am not sure what else to add, I mean everyone said everything I was thinking and more about your Beautiful work of art!
Well Done.
I am sure wrapping sand paper around your fingers took some time, but it looks like you took your time with the sanding, it truely shows.
Now question? Is it in layers? 4 layers? It kinda of looks like that on the top?
