Very nice turnings, I think this is my favorite.

Wow, very nice

My favorite as well…So far! Beautiful vases you have here Robert! Welcome to LumberJocks!

But now ya gotta tell us how you did the gemstone inlay and then turned it!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Thanks for the comments!

I’m working at getting better with my inlay, but a terrific artist named Stephen Hatcher is far far better than me. His work is absolutely incredible. Goggle Stephen Hatcher or go straight to his site: http://www.e-z.net/~summitweb/. Unter the heading ‘Technique’ he lists an article called “Stone Inlay in Woodturning” that outlines his inlay technique which is where I learned.

Thanks again.

I really like the fluorite inlay. Thanks for sharing.

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

Thanx for the link Robert, it contains a wealth of info. I never thought you could actually “sand” stone inlay into something so beautiful. One of these days I might have to try that!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Very nice turning. Love the inlay treatment.
