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

One more time fantastic, terrific, outstanding great art.

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Greta job on this project. Your technique for applying the different colors is also unique. Keep up the great work.

You must have did your homework on the lathe purchase. I’ve looked at alot of lathes hoping someday to upgrade. I think the Jet 1642 is the best buy for around 2 Gs.
As always beautiful color on the vase.

the maple is very nice..i really like how it turns out with your dyeing technique…i don’t have a lathe of the back to stand there and turn, wish i did…i think if there was a single type of wood working i could specialize in , it would be turning..great job…very inspiring to always see your work…grizzman

Joe This one is 2 dye 4 ! It reminds me of a forest fire with all the different spectrums of red & yellow.

-- Rj's Woodworks,San Jose & Weed Ca,

Very Nice Trifern. Always been a big fan of your work and this is no exception!!!

Whoa!!! One of your best for sure, beautiful colors.

-- Dan Wiggins

Wow Joe. Another beauty. You turn some fantasic pieces. Enjoy the new Jet.

-- Jerry--A man can never have enough tools or clamps

I had always wondered why your pieces were not on a larger scale, now I know. For all of you that don’t know much about lathes I can tell you the turnings I have seen produced on a Grizzley lathe from Trifern are beyond exceptional. The bearing support is only carried on one side. This makes for a very unstable cut. Now that you have the 1642VS “Go Big”. Great work as always.

-- Dale

I don’t think anyone in the world could say that they have made a better finish turning then this one.
Truly exciting to see this finish piece. This one should be on the cover of Fine Woodworking. Someone from FW should be calling you on this one.

...
double the YOU ROCK !!!

-- work from your heart and your spirit will live forever

Your work is 2 dye 4! As always, another spectacular piece. Thanks for the blog on the finishing. Hope you don’t mind, but I want to try that technique.

-- John @ Myrtle Beach

The colors you are obtaining are terrific.

-- Tom D

So you got a bigger lathe huh, good for you, yea now you can turn em any size you want, although to look at them in a picture you can’t tell the size of them. I’m mostly shocked how small they are as I read about them. A bigger one will just be more work. lol.m

Another gorgeous piece Trifern. I sure wish I had your finishing skills. That wood you use is also extraordinary.

-- Mike, American in Norway

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

I took my new lathe for a spin tonight. WOW…great things are sure to come!

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Joe, I thoroughly enjoyed your blog on dyes for this piece. Like so many others this is fantastic. I’m happy to see you’ve upgraded your lathe. Didn’t you have some problems with the Grizzly some time back?...Anyway congratulations on the new lathe, and thanks for posting this piece…the Grizzly “went out in glory” with this piece as it’s last.

Joe, Like many LJ members, I’m sure, I wish I could hang out with you and learn about hollow form turning. I am still at the bowl stage but I do have fun with it. I just posted some turning projects on LJs, I’d appreciate your comments

-- Dr. Ken, Florida

Simply FANTASTIC , Joe !

Always looking for ways to get different colors of woods for my intarsia. because I’ve always tried to use natural
colored woods, I hesitate to get into the dyes. However there comes a time when water and sky become a problem. I have tried the Easter egg dye but it’s difficult to control the light to dark level that one is after. A water base acrylic paint did work for a small water scene that I recently did. I would be interested in giving a try to the dye you are using if you can tell me what and where to buy the product you are using.
