Isn't that 'halo' effect typical of curly maple?  Or do you do something to enhance it? 

Mike,

This halo effect is certainly part of the optical properties of the maple.  Ground and varnish application techniques can enhance it.

on we go,

Joe

Very impressive Joe!

Have you changed your ground system/wood preparation or is this just better lighting and photography?

John,

Thank you.

Materials remain the same.  Application evolves.
