That’s so cool!

Mesdames et messieurs, je vous propose ma participation au concours: la Tour Eiffel.

The base is a piece of box elder which had almost no flame; inset in the box lid is a piece of decorative acrylic acetate, circled by a ring of brass powder fused with super-thin CA. I'm not sure what wood the finial is (there's a piece left over, I should clean up the end grain and post a pic in the Wood ID forum). I burned the pattern of girders on the base with a pyrography tool, then airbrushed over (using Frisket to mask off the different areas as I went.)

Do you think if we pooled our savings we could persuade him to withdraw his entry?

Sorry Lou, must have been lost in the mail

Hey, the holidays are rapidly approaching, and they say it's better to give than receive... I'd be OK to be on the receiving end if that would make everyone feel better!

 

[ripjack13]

That's absolutely amazing Tim!!!

 

[Eric Rorabaugh]

it's better to give than receive...

And I'd be happy to be the one receiving that piece!

 

[TimR]

If mods permit... @ripjack13 , I'd like to extend entry deadline to Dec 25 and voting to Dec 30. I figure alot of folks still finishing up gifts (self included) that may include applicable entries to the challenge.

 

[TimR]

Yea, I’m kinda late but here’s mine. Maple finials and dyed maple body. Hollowed out to about 1/8” thick. Overall height 6-1/2”

 

[Eric Rorabaugh]

Really pretty piece

 

[William Tanner]

Very nice. Thought it was maple. What did you use for color?

Thx William. I used Tranfast green, then red then yellow. Color washed a bit more than intended.

Pretty ornament and great dye job!

I like the combination of colors you used to get the reddish brown, very attractive color.

 

[T. Ben]

Great looking ornament.

 

[Steve in VA]

Well done by everyone!

Unfortunately I got unexpectedly pulled out of town and wasn't able to complete mine, but am looking forward to voting and the next contest.

Definitely helps, but it may not be enough as I don't get back until Thursday night. Santa's elfs may be staying up late on Christmas Eve!!
