Blue

These just blow my mind trifern. That is a beautiful shade of blue.

Wow!. Joe, that is simply stunning…You are a true artist!

In picture one, because of the way the grain lines up at the top…it looks transparent.

Very very cool.

Thanks for posting it.

That is so cool. All your work is great, these colored turnings are my favorites though.

Great artistry.

The blue is almost iridescent looking, I really like it.

Thanks for sharing.

I do’nt see anything wrong with artificial color. You are bringing out the best in your materials. Paint has it’s place, but I think many of us don’t like paint because it may be covering up something pretty. You are accentuating. Keep up the experimentation. It helps us all learn.

You’re on fire. Keep em coming! You’re very talented and have a great eye.

Really nice Joe, great look. I’m waiting for your stone inlay work next.

-- Dan Wiggins

That looks great! Joe…experimenting with the dye is a cool idea…experimenting in the shop is fun…awhile back I use to sell alot of barnwood beds, but then one month I totally ran out of barnwood, so I took regular white pine and did a 4 step painting/glazing technique on it and it turned out looking like old blue jeans, it was fun and I sold alot of those blue jean beds….anyway keep up the good work….

some colors look unnatural, but this one doesn’t. – though it leans more to stone than wood in appearance. I love this color. Gonna try this process someday. I can totally see this bowl on my parents mantle.

Beautiful!!! Love the wood grain.

-- Dennis Zongker

The blue dye really brings out the grain. Another winner.

Wow! you are truley a one of a kind! Amazing job! Do you sell these at show?

-- sues

I like it…. can’t wait to try out the technique. As soon as some of these yards and tree’s get taken care of… I’m going to try it with some straight grained (boring) Maple.

Going with that color was a stroke of creative genius, Joe. I absolutely love it!

Beautiful bowl! When I blow up the picture and look at the grain and color it is amazing – really unique…

trifern…awesome…I have a BUSINESS idea for you…something we should all do…

I was thinking about taking a photo of my pen blanks and printing them as cards for people so that when I give them away they can see how the pen started…

And everytime I see your work I want to see what the bowl blank looked like when you started…because the finished result is amazing…

ok…just an idea…

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

Thanks for all the kind remarks. I really appreciate them all. I was pleased with the outcome. This may be one of my favorites, but my best is the next…

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

Wow great color. Normally I would not be thrilled with a colored bowl but this was great.

-- A famous poet once said: “There is a name hidden in the shadow of my soul, the name is wood. Sweet, ever beautiful, earth grown wood. It warms my heart and brings a tear to my eye.”

This vessel is exceptional!

I very nice bowl for somebody with my moniker!

Wow !!!! i love the color ….great job

I love this one.

-- Michael A. Brailsford

Love that bowl! I’m not into turning yet, but this is something to aspire to.
