Great work with the dye. Do you paint it on then wipe when still wet. Nice work all round.

Your turnings are always great with wonderful color.

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Wow joe this is outstanding !! This is what I like to see in a finish, looks like glass .
I feel when using colors or wood that has alot of color and or figure-d (woods) the gloss brings out the color and depth .
Don’t get me wrong I love satin and semi gloss also but they all have their place.

Great Job Joe!

Awesome! I’m glad you are not tired of turning these out. They are all so precious.

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

Joe, once again…this is a beautiful piece…and appropriately named. Before reading RJs comments above I was thinking nearly the same thing. It seems particularly for your last handful of turnings, the that depth of finish has increased. It looks fantastic.

Thanks for posting it.

-- Martin, Kansas

Another fantastic piece. The finish looks incredible and the coloring is amazing.

Beautiful, I second RJ’s comments.

-- Dan Wiggins
