Excellent Wally! Has a Native American flair to it! Really like the contrast of color and also texture!

Hope this means you are feeling better! Thanks for sharing!

[Brian Effinger]

Did you set off the smoke detectors? :p :D

That is really cool Wally. I love the variations in the color of the pyrography.

Wally,

I really like it. I like to "see the wood" and, therefore, don't usually like embellishments that cover large sections of the piece. However, this piece is a wonderful exception to that rule. The black frames the leaves nicely; at the same time, it emphasizes the form's elegant shape. Very nice!

[Mark Hubl]

Very nice piece. Lately I have really been interested in the carved and burned work. I think it adds a lot to the piece.

[Joe Mioux]

i like that very much.

Nice work, Wally! I kind of like the title to the pic - "An Outy"!!:D Like David, I normally don't care for a lot of embellishment, but this one sure works!

[Tony De Masi]

Beautiful piece Wally. Are we going to see this in the AAW mag too?

Lot of artistic skill outside of the turning kind in this one!

[David E Keller]

Just beautiful. I love everything about it.

[Norm Zax]

Very elegant and I appreciate the hard work!

[Barry Elder]

Really nice, Wally!

[Wayne Bower]

Way cool, Walley. I love the form and the way you applied decoration.

[Harvey Ghesser]

Beautiful work of art, Wally! Just beautiful!:)

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful Wally. Really a work of art.

[Bob Bergstrom]

Beautifully done. May I ask how you did the back round. It looks like a center punch did the dimpling. The color has a hint of red mixed in with the black. Was the black all burned or dyed. Whatever you did, it is stunning.

[Jack Mincey]

One word, AWESOME!!!!!!

[Ryan Baker]

That is soooo cool!

[Richard Madison]

Another very cool/hot piece Wally. Thanks for showing it.

[Wally Dickerman]

Thanks Folks, for all of your kind comments. Actually, this piece was done a couple of years ago and has been sold. Haven't been making any smoke lately.

Lovely, is this going to be a part of a series?

If it smells to smokey for you, you can send it to me.
Seriously though this is a EXCELLENT example of wood art from a fine artist.

[George Morris]

Great work Wally lets see a new one!

[Mike Peace]

Beautiful piece, Wally!

Another indication of why your piece's adorn the pages of Wood-turning publications. I am always excited to see your work. Your hand must be steady as a rock. Thanks for sharing with us.
