Ooh, nice gradient! If this weren’t a woodworking-only site, I would have assumed it was blown-glass, especially in the first and last 2 pictures. Amazing!

Your finishing techniques continue to blow me away. I can not believe you can get wood to look like that! Stunning!

your pieces arre very cool. i really like wood and all its defferent grain patterns and colors, but if i was not a woodworker then i would try my hand at glass blowing. your vases remind me of glass. very cool

WOW! This is one of your best finish applications! It’s absolutely stunning! I agree, it does look like a piece of blown glass. Quite magnificent.
