Kicked Ash

Project by trifern posted 170 days ago 490 views 0 times favorited 15 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This hollow form vessel is turned from a hunk of dry ash. The sure size of this piece, along with it being dry ash, gave me an extreme work out. It kicked my ash… It measures approximately 8.25 inches tall by 7 inches wide. It is finished with aniline dyes, tinted wax, and wipe-on poly.

I have had a lot of requests for a “how to” blog on my dyeing techniques. I promise I will do a blog this summer. I have also received a lot of comments about why all my forms are basically the same and where I put all of them. I am currently enjoying this series of hollow forms. I do plan on going in a slightly different direction soon. However, I am currently selling these pieces as fast as I can make them. So… I am putting them across the US and abroad into the hands of collectors of wood art.

All comments and critiques are always welcomed and appreciated. That’s how I learn to improve.

I noticed you turned this one cross grained, any reason why? It does give it an interesting look though. Great one. m

You’ve got a great eye for your stock. Almost every piece has amazing figure. And the rate you’re turning them out is pretty quick. Do you buy your blanks or harvest them on your own?

Hey Mike, this piece is actually turned end grain. Although the grain is pretty wild and goes in all directions.

CSlabon, I harvest some stock, purchase some, and have a lot given to me.

Hey Joe, you did it again. I took the time to slowly go through your projects list from back to front and talk about evolution!!! My all time fav is Albuquerque, but they are all amazing.

Your comment reminds me of working with hickory, turn the lights out and you can see sparks when running molding.
