    tea set

    as I havn't posted anything over here in a while, thought i'd post this. I don't post many pots as they don't compare to the Gibsons. Thought this one turned out ok so I guess i'll post it. Platter is 11 x 1 1/2, and the pot is 6 x 5 or there abouts. One reason I dyed this is the maple for the pot, cup and pitcher were from some old silver maple with them gray staning. Thanks and all C&C welcome.Steve004 (800x619).jpg001 (800x797).jpg

    Quite nice! I have a piece of figured walnut I got from my brother that I didn't know what I was going to do with it--perhaps a nice platter will be a good use for it!

    Beautiful Steve.

    Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

  6. Really nice Steve, your finial on the teapot is great and I love your deer antler platter holder, also your platter is spot on, your dying really adds a lot of interest to your turnings.

    I think your tea set looks great.

  8. Quite nice, Steve! That took a lot of work.......I am sure not accomplished in one session! How many hours in the total project?

    Steve, you don't have to worry about comparing to anyone else. This is first class and you can be very proud of it. Both the shape and the color look fantastic.

    Great look for all. That can be displayed anywhere without any concerns except people wanting a duplicate.
