Tri

I don’t know if the perfect foam exsists…but you are darn close. Just beautiful. And of course, your finish with dye and poly are always just great . The triangle is something new for you…..nice touch; I like it a lot.

Nice one….............

Another gorgeous piece. The carved opening really adds a nice touch. I’ve tried your dying technique on a couple of bowls but far from your results.

the carved opening is perfect … every new one is my favorite.

Trifern , I have trouble cutting a straight line let alone making wood shine in 3-D like you do , wow , awesome!!

-- rob

Another winner! Beautiful as always….you are really perfecting the carving too…..great job.

-- Woodworking.....My small slice of heaven!

Joe,

Tri is all about the next lovely layer of eye candy. The wood, form and color are, as always, fabulous. But…now there is something more to contemplate. A little something more to tease the eye and please the mind. Mythology surrounds this one. Beautifully done. I can’t wait to see where you take it next.

Beautifully done! I love the triangular opening. Modern and elegant.

Another wonderful piece. I don’t know what I like best, the vessel or the finish that shows off the character of the wood so well.

Bravo, bravo!! Looks like I need a turning lesson. I need to learn how to turn that neat opening.

as always ,
this is my newest favorite of yours .

they just keep getting better !

-- david ,new mexico ,allheart

Wow – a great turned form and some hand work as well. Very nice piece.

-- Those that say it can't be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.

Well Joe, you’ve done it again.
That’s absolutely fantastic. You’ve really hit the sweet spot.
Bravo Maestro!

-- Gary, Florida

That is Sweet! Turning is still something that eludes me. Very nice work!

Your work just keeps getting better and better! This one is gorgous!

Beautiful this one too! the 5th photo made me wonder: have you ever painted the inside of a vessel of yours? (btw I’d like to see the inside of one of them in the future). The strange opening of this vessel seems to come from the inside, i mean it seems that the inner surface turns out (don’t know if I’m comprehensible, sorry)

NICE ONE

Thanks for all the feedback. I appreciate each one of them.

Beautiful grain patterns!

I missed this one when you originally posted it but I am glad I came back. It is good to see you trying something new with the opening. The turning looks gorgeous, as usual but the triangular opening is unusual and adds visual interest to the piece as well as being an opportunity to try a new technique.

Nice job, Joe.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

I can’t imagine this being any prettier except if it was sitting on a table in my living room.
