I like it. I have seen all your projects and the way you manipulate the colors are admirable.

This looks great Joe, I like the color, I’d like to recommend that you take pictures with some flowers in your vases. White orchid branch would look cool in this.

Between the colors and your craftsmanship, your turnings are truely awesome.

Another beauty Joe.

I never would have guessed hackberry. Nice vase.

Joe, very nice. I like what you do with dyes.

I’m curious…how thin are you turning the walls on vases like this?

Thanks for posting it.

Thanks Martin, this piece is around 1/8”.

The growth rings are incredible in that Hackberry . Where does it grow ? I thought it was PurpleHeart until I enlarged the photos . Nice job , Joe

Joe, this is another nice piece. I would never have imagined hackberry could look like this!! I had several small ones growing in my yard and cut down “those nuisance” trees. I will never look on them the same after seeing this. :)

Nice work and keep on turnin’. I really enjoy seeing these posts.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Beautiful as always.
The pace at which you are progressing
in your skills and craftsmanship is amazing.
