Trifern – great job with incorporating the open air space into your vessel shape. Voids and burls are not the easiest pieces to turn. The waterlox and briwax finish really makes the piece pop.

I have not commented on many of your last turnings, even though they were all very nice….This one is on another level IMO. Amazing chunk of wood and true artistry in the making of this vessel. Gallery material all the way !

I still don’t know how you turn that without tearing that up. Amazing.

Joe, this is fantastic. Talk about character! I love the grain, the design and the voids. Nice finish too!
I just noticed in pictures 3 & 4 it looks like a face with two eyes and a mouth…very cool :)
Thanks for posting it.

Jose, I know I’ve told you numerous times that all your stuff is awesome, but this one I REALLY like. Envy doesn’t look nice on a person, but unfortunately, that’s what I’m wearing right now.

Joe great work
I just don’t know how a turning like this survives without blowing up when turned.

Very interesting shape and texture. It’s quite different than your past work. I like it.
Have you noticed it’s grimacing at you?

Shape is perfect, as is the finish. Might be the best one yet.
I have to laugh at the comments about “how do you turn it without blowing it up”, though. With the lathe running at 1000rpm or so, you don’t even feel the voids, right? :-) And it sure makes measuring and getting chips out easier, right? Unless you wrapped it with Saran wrap first?

This one really displays your advanced skills Joe. Must have been quit difficult to turn with all the holes and bark occlusions. Fantastic and beautiful. Kudos. mike
