Orbit

Project by trifern posted 261 days ago 484 views 2 times favorited 19 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is the next in my Hubble Telescope series. The two knots appear to be in orbit. The end grain hollow form measures 9.25 inches by 5 inches and is turned from White European Poplar. It is finished with aniline dyes and lacquer.

All comments, especially critiques, are welcomed and appreciated.

Simply stunning Joe. The combination of grain and colors are fantastic. Very appropriately named.

Thanks for posting it.

Very cool Joe. Love the colors. You can almost see the milky way. It draws you in. Makes you want to touch and rub your hand over it. Are they as smooth as the they look? Good luck again with the show.

I have totally ran out of superlatives. Rest assured, Joe, that a response from me that just says “very nice” means much more than that.

Looks alive, reminds me of the auroa, just shows how nature stores light in what it helps create, all you have to do is remove the covering to expose the life.

A truly fantistic piece. The application of dyes and grain make it one outstanding turning.

This series has elevated your craft. I think the dyes really make the pieces stand out. If you took these to the right places, galleries, shops, you could command the right price. So start networking with the top guys in the biz. I like the series, keep them up, but I think they should be your calling card. Congratulations
