Wow Wally..I'm really taken with this piece. The "tulip like" mouth adds another dimension also. Just a beautiful piece...Bill..

Excellent! Beautiful work Wally! Love the form and your design! Really like how you tied the unique opening to the overall design. Wish I didn't live so far away - I would definitely be asking for lessons! Thanks for sharing Wally!

Wally,

You've another winner! I wish I lived closer to your part of Arizona because each of your pictures make me long to hold your wonderful turnings in my hands. I like this one for a number of reasons, but mostly for the variety of shapes and textures you've created. They all seem to work together to make a greater whole. Very well done!

WOW!! I'm almost speechless. That is awesome.When I see work like this I think about how thin they had to turn the piece to begin with. With yours that was more difficult than a lot of other piercings I've seen. This tells me you've really got your hollowing down. Next is the design. I'm really liking the design with how it flows with the opening. Just a great piece. Like Steve, I wished I was closer. I'm curious as how much time you have tied up in this piece. Hopefully I can just find time to get a "little" turning in.
