I wanted to make another back flow incense burner but not a typical waterfall type so I designed this one like water falling through and arch. First I needed the arch which I made from an inside out turning.Then I turned the floating base with a recess for the arch ( to center it) and which is doweled and glued to the base. After finishing the the wood with many coats of clear matte spray ( to get it to come to a satin sheen), I poured turquoise chips in the bottom and flooded the pool with clear epoxy resin. The base is 5 1/2” round and the whole thing is 7 1/4” high. The last two shots were the raw wood pieces as they came out of the lathe.Below is a video of the burner working.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKsbybw313UCheers, Jim
