That's right, another display stand for a fossil by ME, snolly! But first, a classic RnB tune by that name. It is a remarkable rendition, exhibiting superior mixing. As in previous display stand posts, this one utilizes an exotic wood blank that was originally produced to be utilized as a bowl turning piece. The wood here is Ambrosia Maple. The pattern seen in the piece is created through invasion by a species of Ambrosia Beetle. These creatures utilize their tunnels to grow a fungus, which provides their sole food source. The wood becomes discolored in this process. https://www.wood-database.com/ambrosia-maple/ Here is the wood blank, sanded and finished with hand-rubbed shellac and then buffed with Briwax. Metal supports were fabricated by Texas hot sauce aficionado, Kris @Ptychodus04. As usual, Kris proved a great source for prep assistance and display metalwork. Once received the support arms were custom cut to length with a Dremel cut-off wheel and plastic/rubbery caps fitted to the ends. The caps used here are sold to finish the ends of wire shelving. Presently, the fossil shown in the stand below is featured in the Forum's ID section. Please comment there with any relevant info. Thanks! Here is the finished display.
