Beautiful surface there. Nice subtle form as well.
Are your pieces generally turned from green wood? Is this?

Joe, you certainly are a magician. That is a gorgeous piece. Is the acrylic slightly transparent?

“honey look thats what Ive been spending hours in front of the lathe trying to do” Very nice some day I will figure out the paticulars of how to do one myself. Mostly need to talk the boss into letting me spend money on tools. Yeah right. Thanks for posting thanks for the inspiration.

Joe: another superb vessel. Very nice.

Very pretty.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Most of the hollow forms I create are from green wood. This piece was wetter than most. I believe it was recently harvested.

The acrylic paints were thinned with acrylic glaze. This creates a translucent paint that allows some of the grain to show through. I was trying to create the look of cherry burl.
