Box Elder and Blackwood

[RL Johnson]

Neal
When you bring it to the club meeting Thursday, remember we are meeting the 15th this month, I can look at it in person and we can discuss finials. Even without a finial, it is a great piece of wood and your workmanship is excellent. Keep those pictures coming.

Neal, that's a great piece. Very well done. The detail on the pedistal is fantastic.

[Blake McCully]

Neal,
Wonderful piece. I'm not talented enough to critique but when looking at it I wondered what a piece like that would look like if the top were more globular, more spherical. If you try anything like that I'd really like to see it.

Great piece.

[Skip Spaulding]

WOW!, love the detail and contrast, I wouldn't change anything.

[Bob Hallowell]

Neal, I think it is stunning.

Box Elder is some very pretty wood. Gorgeous colors.

[Pat Doble]

Stunningly beautiful piece Neal. Gorgeous shape and detail in the pedestal/base and I like just the small blackwood rim detail at the top. The small amount of flame is perfect - it doesn't overwhelm the piece, which might happen with a lot of red and a shape like this.

(BE is my favorite from the handful of woods I've turned so far - which is fortunate since it's been the subject of my largest two free wood scores).

Absolutely great piece.

[Anthony Yakonick]

Neal....the form, the finish........Excellent!

[Scott Hubl]

Once again Neal your talent and artistic "eye" have produced another fine work of Art.

Nicely done.
