built this piece a couple months ago but let it sit because I couldn't decide how to finish it. Normally I would never stain a project but this piece (maple) had a couple of unsightly grain patterns and just seemed plain and dull. It needed something. So kinda on impulse I stained it with ebony (oil base) and came up with a celtic knot pattern to chip carve in it. sprayed on a few coats of satin lacquer. Not real thrilled with it but at least it's finally finished. 27”h x 14”d. Notice in the last pic another one slightly thinner. This was made from the inside cuts of the first one. Still got a lot of sanding to do on it. Not yet sure how to finish it but it won't be black.
