One of my favorites Joe, this is really great, your getting so good on these tall deep shapes now. So what would it take to get this out of your hands and into mine? write me direct if your interested. Would look great on one of my tables.

Hope the Wow’s Don’t get boring, sorry, WOW! Very organic. Love the shape and the wood. Nice!

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

What tremendous grain so very well displayed.

amazing…so—-does this kind of grain show up before you start cutting—-how do you know?

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

Very nicely done. The Waterlox finish really makes it shine. End grain narrow opening hollow forms are not easy – you have done an outstanding job with this piece.

-- Those that say it can't be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

Your best work yet.

Thanks for all the kind remarks. I appreciate them all.

Joe, I absolutely love this piece! That maple is amazing…It reminds me a lot of “Sugar Daddy”...one of your previous posts. I like the step by step pictures too.

Thanks for sharing this one with us.

-- Martin, Kansas

I would give my Queen-dom for some of this maple! Fantastic piece!

Haven’t had a chance to do much poking around on the LJs site lately. Extremely nice work. I love working with maple. Most of it is pretty generic wood, but then every once in awhile is a really special tree wth some incredible grain patterns waiting to be uncovered and brought into the daylight.

Keep on turning, Ken

Love the blistered Maple . You’re right about the stream bed look of the “stones” : )
