Flame Box Elder Hollow Form Critique Requested
Here is a hollow form I made from Box Elder. This wood sure smell strange when turning...lol. This piece is about 5" tall and 4" in diameter. The wall thickness is a pretty uniform 3/32" with the bottom slightly thicker for balance. It weighs next to nothing...lol. It's finished with about 8 coats of spray on lacquer.
Thanks for you comments and critique. Ken

Ken - very nice work on your hollow form! Great form, interesting variation on the rim!
As far as a critique - I can only offer a couple of suggestions when it comes to your photography. Just a guess - but it looks like you have an overhead light and also one directly in front of the turning. Only problem with this setup is it gives you harsh shadows and a bright glare spot on the front of the turning. Try moving your lights so that one is above and to the right of the turning and the other is lower and to the left front of the turning. You are not trying to eliminate shadows but get them to work for you and create a 3-D effect and at the same time you want to eliminate as much glare as possible. Make any sense? Turning is one thing ......... photography is something else all together and takes time. Best thing I can do is recommend Neal's site for a quick tutorial on taking photos: http://www.nealaddy.org/node/16 Hope that helps some....

very nice, it is well done, if you get the chance and want to invest in some 2 part bleach it could whiten your hf but leave the red, your finish is good and would work with the bleach....
somebody posted on another board about ciba lignostab 1198 which could be a uv inhibitor i do not know if anyone has used it before
