    Most excellent and a beautiful slide show. Learned a lot just watching it a few times. Thanks for sharing...

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Thanks even with a slow dail up phone line it was well worth it to watch the show.
    Makes me want to run out and buy a bigger lathe.
    Thanks for taking the time to share with us.

    Anthony, you're tempting me to go fire up the lathe! Very inspirational. Love the shape and the wood speaks for itself. Nice job!
    Cheers,

    Anthony,

    Nice work!! I really like the form. That's an interesting jam chuck you used when you reversed the piece. Can you comment on the design? Never seen one like that, but it looks like it would work very well.

    Looks like you had no problems hollowing on the chuck. If that was me, the piece would've snapped off and flown across the room a couple of times.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Jack

    I don't know which I'm more impressed with, the vessel or the slideshow

    both were very well done.

    Thanks all, I bought a new camera and had to learn how to use it! I also wanted document this turning as it is #900 ( or somewhere close, I lost track a few years ago )

    Jim, the finish of the week is Watco , and I prefer to call it silver maple.
    Jack, the jam chuck was made that way to use on natural edged burl vessels but if fits any hole from 1" to 2.5".

    Once again thanks all
