    You are way outside the box, Lionel.... Good imagination. I stared at that for 10 minutes before coming up with my lame reply. Good job, and please, keep it going. ...... ....Jerry (in Tucson).

    I like it but not sure what it is. I doubt I will try one, don't have a death wish.

    Definitely different, but appealing piece that I would put on display in my home. Makes me wonder were your ideas come from. I do not believe that anything that you have posted has not been appreciated by me.

    Lionel, I love the piece and you've inspired me to try turning offset non-cylindrical wood blanks.
    Thanks!

    Very neat tea pot, if you add a handle.

    Great concept for turning the pieces, I guess it stayed out of balance the entire time with the spout.

    Would you think of carving out the spout a bit more to provide a more realistic sense that the spout worked, or do you have other plans for it?

    I am very impressed by your skills. The technical difficulty of this piece is way up there.
