very nice… where do you get your turning stock? Is there a certain brand of dye you like? I used a red dye before and I didn’t like it because it was too dark. I really like the way you make the grain pop through. Thanks for posting.

I love your work, I was wondering (being new to woodworking), how smooth is the wipe on poly finish? looks pretty smooth from here but it seems like it would take a lot of work to get right.

Spectacular! Your choice of woods, skill and your artistry of finishing is fantastic!

Very cool Joe.

That’s a beautiful turning! Everything about it is just right.
I would be interested in any tips you would have about turning hollow forms (or from anyone else) as I would like to try it. What type of tool is favored for this type of turning?
I am thinking about the Rolly Munro tool but would like some input from anyone who has actually used one.

-- Started with nothing, got most of it left.

That’s a real beauty , Joe !

Bruce, the wipe-on poly is like glass. It does take a lot of coats and a lot of rubbing with sand paper and steel wool between coats. The key is to get a good build up, smoothing between coats.

Thanks for all the feedback. I really appreciate all the comments.
