FWW Turning contest winner

Project by HumidorMinister posted 72 days ago 575 views 1 time favorited 23 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I built this vessel a while back and entered it in the FWW “What have you turned lately” contest. By some miracle, I won. I would say in large part due to all of you that voted for me. Here is the link if you would like to read more about it. http://www.finewoodworking.com/item/18738/monsoon-by-bill-wyko-wins-turning-challenge I would just like to thank you all again for your vote and support. Winning this is a great honor.

WOW!!! That is a work of art! You did a masterful job.

I am just beginning to do a little woodturning. I am learning a little of how the lathe works, and how to use standard lathe chisels. I cannot imagine doing anything like you did. You have truly exhibited great craftsmanship.

Outstanding! You have outdone anything I could dream of. I am just starting to do segmented pieces, and WAS all exited because my piece I am designing has 60 odd pieces. I can not even imagine the pataince that this took.

Congrats on the win. You vrey much deserved it.

Sorry it took so long to get back to thank you. You guys are all so very kind. I really appreciate your compliments. It’s truly inspiring. If I can ever be of any help on the subject of segmenting please don’t hesitate to ask. Trust me, I learned plenty of what to do and what not to do when I created this one. I’ve also recieved a lot of very good advice from Malcolm Tibbetts. He is a true inspiration as well. Thank you again my friends. I’ve got more of my work for you in about a week. 8-)
