Woodturning Art - From Fire To Gold

This project was given to me by a friend looking for an auction item for a Boy Scout fundraiser. Since he's my friend, golfing buddy and also boss, I thought I would oblige.
The wood is Cypress. The blank is 8/4 thick and 11 1/4" in diameter. Leftover from a door unit I fabricated. It finished at 1 3/4" thick by 11".
The method is Shou Sugi Ban. I burn the outside and color it with Rit dye, Orange in color.
The finish is a mixture I made of wax and solvents made to make it dry hard and fast, but last. An experiment in progress.
Be safe. I'm not an instructor, just a hobbyist Use the tools you're comfortable with. Be wary of the spinning object in front of you. Don't push the tools limitations.

What an Awesome project for a Auction, it turned out good with the burning (Shou Sugi Ban), the wood has nice a grain pattern. hope it gets a good price at the auction.

[@ClintHitchcock]

Thank you Chuck. The grain really surprised me. Tried Fir before and the color didn't take very well.

That turned out beautiful Clint! I've thought about using Mica powder in home made polishing paste. Just haven't done it yet

Never know until you try. I was pleasantly surprised.
