    Latest couple of collaborative vessels

    Here's Our latest collaborative pieces. Both are Hard Maple.
    The Blue one is 6 5/8" tall & 5"dia. The other one is 12" tall 6 1/4" dia.
    So what do you think of these?
    We'll have another one that's 22 1/2" tall hickory that I think has some specular grain coming soon, so watch for it.
    Thanks for looking.

    Joe, check the listed dimension on the first bowl.?!? Both are nice, but the wood really shows well in the second one and that would be my pic. But, you do some awesome work with the coloration and finish!!

    Joe - as always - very nice work! Both of these vases are outstanding! I find myself drawn to the Blue and Black one - not because of the outstanding finish but because of the the elongated neck. Really makes the form!

    Very nice pieces. Finish is great. You do not mention who your collaborator is? I may have missed this on previous posts.

    Beautiful form on both and two more "wow" finishes. I think I prefer the natural one.

    Talk about an optical illusion!! They both look proportionately about the same - a bit taller than wide. Yet the second one is twice as tall as it is wide!?

    My collaborator is Steve Sinner. Steve started mentoring me a little over 2 yrs ago. Now we work on collaborative pieces together about once a week.
    I'm still learning from Steve. You can not spend any time with Steve and Not Learn something new every day your with him.
    I am truly fortunate to have Steve as a FRIEND & Mentor & take me in under his wing to start working with him.

    These are two very fine pieces, while the forms are great, the finish is outstanding.

    I find myself drawn to the form of the Black & Bule one myself.

    Nice forms and super finishes!

    Joe, The finish on them is very nice! The depth and shine is incredible. Tho colors are nice and add some different class to otherwise plain wood, grain is nice but embellishments really set things off.

    Great pieces,
