This handsome thick shallow Silver Maple is reclaimed from a downed Duluth tree. I lathe turned the piece to highlight the unique "quilted" pattern in the grain and left a large natural bark area on the edge in contrast to the meticulously smooth finish. I top coated this piece with a museum quality renaissance wax which is intended for preservation. The smooth finish allows you to simply wipe as needed with a dry cloth, chemical cleaners should never be needed in general care.
