Recognition

Congratulations Joe! It’s beautiful!

It’s always good to see excellent work recognized. Congratulations Joe. Your work is first rate and you deserve any recognition you receive.

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

Congrats- You deserve it!!!!

Joe, I want to offer you my congratulations as well but, given the pieces that you have “turned” out I am not surprised at their selection. It is an honor that is rightly deserved.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Congratulations Joe, what an honor. I agree with them, this is truly one of your finest pieces. The color makes it one of a kind. The true mark of genius would be to see if you could ever duplicate the color.

Very Very Cool Joe! Congratulations! It’s always great to see what you come up with next. As others have already said, it is most certainly well deserved. I’ve just started using the lathe I acquired last fall, and every time I pick up a turning chisel, it becomes increasingly amazing to me how much I don’t know about turning. The fact that you’ve only been turning such a short time makes your recognition even more impressive.

Thanks for letting us know about it.

Nice to see a lumberjock get some well deserved recognition. Nice job!

umm… march 2008? Now, I’m even more impressed with your body of work. Congratulations!

Joe,
It looks amazing! What are the dimensions? How do you hollow out all the way down with such a small mouth? I’m confounded. I turn bowls mostly and a few lidded boxes – but I can’t figure out how to safely make something like this – do you use special tools?

Mike
