Really nice Toby, the 'simple' bowl shape is always a great choice for such nice timber.

John, these just continue to amaze! The 'how did he???' factor just continues to grow.....

Rick, that is one nice looking pipe! As that's your first(but looks good enough to be your 100th!!!) I think you are going to do very well creating these. I made one last year, for a friend, and can...

Thanks for all the kind replies, I too like these a little better than the first set(although I do still like them).

Here are two new hollow forms to add to my current series of pieces. These are great fun to do, the major difference from the previous three is the change from black to white on the textured areas....

They are really cool Bill, the red and silver one(No. 2) is particularly stunning!

Curt these are looking really fine, I love the pattern created in the timbers on the bells. Its scary how quickly Christmas seems to come round though....

Baxter you have done that beautiful piece of Mesquite justice with those turnings! Gotta love the dramatic grain in the larger one with the sapwood.

16" that's a beast of a NE bowl Dennis! It looks really spectacular with the bark/sapwood/heart giving it natural stripes. The feet are a really nice touch giving it that bit of air adding to the...

Dale, Tim, thanks guys. To be honest this is my favourite of the two as well but I do find myself wanting to use the carving and colour from 'Blue' to cover a complete form. Anyway I'm happy running...

Thanks for the comments everyone:) I do need to make one that has the styling of the blue area all the way around as I think that would look nice but that's another turning for another day!

Looks good Kathy! I don't think a lid is needed for it as it looks just great as it is. As Scott says it looks exactly like Sycamore, I'll have to google a silky Oak as I have no idea what one looks...

Good job David, the only other place I have seen a 'Salt Pig' is at my Mother in laws, she uses one for her sea salt crystals in the kitchen, right next to the cooker(range) for easy addition to her...

Here is the second piece in my new series of small textured/carved and coloured hollow forms. As I called the previous one 'Blue.' I'll call this one 'Red.' Once again its Sycamore under all that...

Well I got some more time yesterday to do what I wanted to do!!
This piece will be the first in a series of carved and couloured hollow forms with gold accents. I haven't really come up with a name...

Thank you all for the kind comments:)



It sure is David:) I have since then had to extend it though and add a second clamp at the end as I bought a bigger better chainsaw, a shiny new...

Bob I think they both look really good:cool: Keep it up!

Thanks Norm, I've got a fairly busy month ahead and then should get a good couple of months of getting in lots of turning time!!!:cool:

I don't post for months then I do two on the same day!!:rolleyes:

'Circles' is Sycamore lidded form decorated with pyrographed circles and dyed a burnt orange colour. The 'finial' (for want of a...

This is a real beauty Michelle:) The design is just crazy(in a good way),so much to look at in one piece, with the multi directional curves(the wooden ones and hole ones). I think the blue works...

Hello all :) I haven't made a post for far too long, I've had a really hectic summer and have only had a chance to turn a few pieces in the last few months, things are calming down now and I have had...

I haven't turned anything for a couple of months and had to turn some items for a client and some simple things for a craft fair we are attending tomorrow. After making the boring things I had to...

Congratulations David your pieces look good on there!

Thank you for all the kind replies :) Your opinions are always very much appreciated.

This is the second piece of a series of loosely 'nautical' based pieces,the first was the last piece I posted called 'Flotsam'.
Its an English Elm hollow form with Sycamore 'sails' on a Mahogany...
