Nebula

Very impressive Joe. Great shape.

How cool is this? !!!! I’d say you caught the whole nebula thing very well. It’s great and the wood is beautiful.

Extremely Nice Art,

I very much like it. Could you possibly post the same pic with something universal
like a tennis ball or quarter coin. I have a lathe as well and would like to turn bowls
and vases like this. I make pens now but want to branch out. What size lathe was this made on?

Thanks and keep up the good Wook/Art.

Another grat turning Joe. I just love the way you use those dyes to create such spectacular finishes. I’ve got to learn to do that myself. Maybe you need to do a blog on finishing with dyes. How about that?

Joe, nice shape and size. The dyes really make this piece pop.

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

This is my favorite of all your color experiments so far.

Seems as fast as you turn them out you don’t have many rejects. You are incredibly consistent with beautiful, original pieces. Congratulations on your talent.

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

The colors you come up with are awesome. This would be a great piece to have.

that looks amazing!

I marvel at each of your turnings. Thank you so much for sharing them. They are all georgreous works of wood art.

This piece is stunning…wow!

Your unique finishes are a treat. I wish I knew someone who could teach me coloring techniques like yours.

Keep up the good work!

I think I like this one the best of those I have seen.
You are starting to make me envious of all your productivity but I seldom persist on one theme as long as you have so that is probably why I haven’t reached your level of artistic abilities; especially with the finishes.

OOOooooh! I like this one! I think I saw a comet go by! It’s getting harder and harder to decide which one I like best. I’m dusting of my shelf and getting ready for a delivery . . .

How many colors did you use on this one?

WOW….What a beautiful piece. I like this one the best of all. I’m kind of curious…where do you get all of this beautiful wood? Thanks for sharing!!

-- -- Remember, a chip on the shoulder is a sure sign of a woodturner.

you certainly have the vase form nailed, the finish and the colours are always great and I love the names you come up with.
The way you use figure is quite something. BUT! i cant wait to see what you can do with some different shapes and forms, something a little out of the ordinary, something to really knock us on our asses , I reckon you have something in your head waiting to get out and I always look forward to your posts to find out what it is.
And another thing, do you ever stop! It seems like there is something great coming out every second day!

just stunning,love the color .thanks

very nice! David Marks would call that a vessel not a vase. He considers a vessel to be more artistic then a vase.

So cool.

damn son! That’s gotta be your best turning/color experiment yet and by far! Great job!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Just went to the planetarium yesterday, I can totally see what you were going for. NICE!

purty, purty, purty,,,,,You just keep getting better and better. You should be a turner!

On the serious side Joe this is an awesome vase, best one yet!

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