Man are you good at duplicating spalting. I thought only God could do that. I’m really impressed!!

How thin did you turn the wall thickness?

An interesting use of a Sharpie. Another marvolous work!

Incredible piece. I like the contrast between natural maple and painted black top. Very inspiring.

Like all of your work, beautiful! Looking at your pieces makes me want to get a lathe and figure out how to use it.

Spalted maple via a sharpie…........ You never cease to amaze me Joe. The topper is just fine. Sometimes I see pieces that the top is just too long for my liking….. This one seems to fit the piece.

-- Brian, Ontario Canada,

Wow Joe….you are really defining the craft…your pieces are great inspiration….they also help keep me experimenting and give me a goal to shoot for…....whenever someone asks me what I am doing trying a “strange” color combination or finishing technique…I just show them one of your georgous vessels and they get as excited as I do….Thank you for sharing them with us!

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

Love that new shape and the topper and nice job with the sharpie.

Uh Oh …..Trifern is turning finials now! Whatch out folks, he is taking another leap forward in his talent!

Fantastic job on the topper. The “spalting” looks very natural. The contrast between the naturl body and the cap is great.

Again you are stepping forward and trying new things. It is fantastic to watch as someones talant keeps groing. Those of us who are following in your footsteps are never going to catch up at this rate. haha

Keep up the imaginative work. Allways inspireing.
