very cool! i love the wood grain. since i got my lathe i know that hollowing is hard especially with curves so it must have been a challenge on those curves! thanks for the post.

Very impressive Trifern. Great grain. Is that a hardwood?.

You keep coming up with these gorgeous turnings, and it seems like you comment on every project posted. Don’t you ever sleep, Man??!! :-)

You have an eye for wood that amplifies the quality of your turnings. Absolutely beautful.

Joe….that is so cool! I’ve never seen this wood in a project before (only seen the name of it) but this piece is striking! I love the shape/design and the contrast in color and grain. Looks like your “branching” to new aspects of turning.
Tell us more about your impression of the Sorby Hollow Master.
I’ve still not made the decision on which full size lathe to get, but seeing projects like this make me wish I already had it.
Thanks for showing this.

More and more beauty everyday.
Joe, are you related to GaryK? I futz along for weeks with a project, and you guys are pumping ‘em them out like kittens, and they are always high end work…

Thanks for all the kind remarks. I really appreciate them all.
Grumpy, it is a hardwood similar to marblewood. I picked it up at my local Woodcraft store. The grain pattern is a little different than other pieces I have seen. I picked out the ugliest one I could find. They sometimes have some really beauty hidden somewhere within.
Martin, I will talk more about the Hollow Master at a later date. This is only the second time I have used it. I want to get some more experience before commenting.
Charlie M., sleep is for tired people. I get such an energy boost from turning, I find it difficult to sleep sometimes.
Douglas, GaryK is my brother from another mother. In fact you all are. I think of all you Lumberjocks as brothers and sisters.

I’m continually amazed at your ability to find interesting pieces of wood, with some of the most beautiful grain patterns I’ve seen. To top it off, you have incredible talent in creating flowing lines and shapes that absolutely showcase the beauty of the wood you’ve chosen.
You’re not only a talented woodworker, you’re a talented artist.
Thanks for sharing… keep it up.

Joe, you have surpassed my abilities by far and I’m happy for you. Beautiful turning. Did you like the Sorby tool? Your turnings are really becoming gallery worthy. What are you doing with them all, selling them?

Beautiful piece. I love your wood choice. You are right, some of the
best pieces come from ugly blanks.
Thanks for sharing.

Joe- wow… You’re a machine! You’re making art faster than the lathe turns!
This is very nice… it’s one of my favorites that you’ve turned. I like it a lot… well done!
