Waterfall Natural Edge Burl Lidded Container, part 1 of a 2 part series

Create this elegant flowing form with a Lid and Finial! In this first session, I will select the burl and cut it to give the piece a balanced natural edge. The contrasting wood Pedestal is fitted to the piece, and finished in a Collet Jam Chuck.   Part 2 covers shaping and fitting the lid, Finial turning, and finishing. Learn my favorite burl coloring method using transparent dyes. Get a more vivid color by bleaching, and explore topcoat options.  Sign up for both parts to get the complete project.
