Hey Chris
Well done looks great,very unique,

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Great look, the grain really stands out.

-- Whether You Think You Can or You Think You Can't, YOU ARE RIGHT!!!

Beautiful depth. As someone who loves the smells of each wood, I’m adding my request to the pot. How does it smell to you? I hadn’t worked in it, so I don’t have any idea, but would love to hear your description. Great job!

-- Gary, Los Angeles, video game animator

Beautiful! Excellent job on the turnung and staining. Very “HOT” looking.

Great job. Keep it up.

Scrappy

-- Scrap Wood's the best...the projects are smaller, and so is the mess!

Looks good, stunning even!! What do you do for real if this is just paractice??

Nice job Christopher. You did well with the aniline dyes. Are you hooked yet?

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

Sweet!

Great job Christopher. I am not sure trifern appreciates how many of us have become his disciples! I know I am hooked on the aniline dyes!

-- Rich in Richmond

Great looking “practice” piece. It looks like you already have the hang of using the dyes. I’ve never tried them yet, but maybe someday.

-- Dale Manning, Carthage, NY

Much better than my first try. Quite stunning, I’m sure Trifern likes it and is quaking in his shoes. LOL. Great first use of dyes and I like the turquise inlay. Good job.

That’s pretty cool! Never to my knowledge have I seen cottonwood used for a project. Looks great.

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

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all the great comments guys! The smell really reminded of the corn that piles up and rots around the bottom of a grain auger, kinda sweet and grainy but with a damp organic scent as well. I liked it actually, brought back memories of a slower life with no responsibilities other than watching out for my old mans fury!

Christopher: A great looking turning. Nice job with it. I’m thinking I’d like it better without the inlays. maybe it’s just me.
