Sweet!!! Great craftsmanship. Love the wood grain on the orange agate.

-- Dennis Zongker

As always, wow! I have yet to try hollowing but looking forward to it. You’re giving me inspiration! Thanks!

I’ll have to look into orange agate as well. Very nice color and figure.

Spectacular Joe, you are really raising the bar with your turning. Great job, just beautiful.

Looks like you’ve got them mastered as for as I can see.

-- Bruce from Central New York

Great job Joe!!! Really beautiful work. Glad to see your back up and running, I’ll be posting some center pieces soon out of stone. Ron has ordered one and maybe two, as I’m about to make some out of volga blue granite. It has peacock eyes in it that reflect like foil. I bet your turning a new piece already aren’t you? Keep it up, and have fun.

Rj, orange agate is a relatively new wood imported into America. I believe it is from Peru. It resembles cocobolo, except it is orange and does not have the toxic characteristics.

Sweet!

Wow! I just don’t know what to say anymore about your turnings.

Never ceased to amaze me Joe with the things you turn. Now a request. I haven’t done much hollow turning and have been wanting to start, maybe you could make a reccommendation on hollow chisels.

Hey DocK, I purchased the Sorby Hollow Master. It has been quite the learning curve for me. My tool of choice is a fingernail bowl gauge that when sharp cuts beautifully. The hollowing tools are a scraping action which is much different. I am starting to get the hang of it. Practice, practice, practice…

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Great job!

Thanks for the post

Joe, your practice with the hollowing tool is really paying off. Great looking piece! I really like the contrasting woods too. Thanks for posting it. (what are the dimensions of this one?)

-- Martin, Kansas

Thanks Martin, It measures about 4.5” wide by 5.75” tall.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Great use of contrasting wood.
