Very nice, I wouldn’t have thought that paint on a vessel would work, but the way you contrasted it with the natural grain of the cherry it works very well.

very cool—-very different from your other “recent” work over the last few months…in terms of the finish and shine…

your pieces all seem bigger in the photos then they must be…maybe one picture could show an object for perspective…

Joe, another winner, your designs are awesome, your work should be in a book.

Fantastic job. You are deffinatly branching out to new areas with the carving. Fantastic contrast between the “layers” of grain.

Keep it up.

Scrappy

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

Joe:

Way to look outside of the box. But, inside the log.

A beautiful piece.

I’m astonished by the beauty of your vassels; what I like the most in your work is the fact you choose a form first, and then explore all the possibilities offered by it; it’s clear you are a true master.

Wonderful piece Joe. I’m glad you don’t let yourself be restrained by convention (can’t paint wood, etc.), and I think this frees you up to just create art, just as you have done with this piece and many others. I was thinking the other day that since we usually don’t use these closed forms for anything except display., that they are actually sculptures more than anything else. Am I right, or is it just fanciful thinking?

very creative work … on of my favorites

Your work never ceases to impress me. Fantastic.

-- Gary, Florida

Your art is evering growing, expanding and this hollow form is outstanding!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

Joe,

Your work is truly beautiful. Do you sell your vessels? You seem very productive and I can’t image what you are doing with all these.

One of the nicest turnings I’ve seen in a while. Very very nice vessel Joe.
Great work on it.

Boom

How in the heck did you follow the grain around the outside to raise the middle Joe? Or is that an ancient Chinese secret? LOL It’s gorgeous, as always.

-- Mike. mwurm13@yahoo.com

Whoa. That is an interesting piece. I’ll bet that took some time to clean up around the edges. Well done.

Joe, I really like what you’ve done with your last couple pieces. Your carving is adding a whole new level to your turnings. Beautiful and very creative.

-- John @ Myrtle Beach
