Pair of Spalted Maple HF's...

[Wally Dickerman]

These vessels, both from the same chunk of wood, have an unusual spalting, so I thought that I'd post them. Dia is about 7 inches on both. Collars are Bolivian Rosewood.

Due to an illness I haven't been in my shop for a couple of months. These were turned some time ago.

Wally - as always - beautiful work! Great spalting and colors!

Hope you get to feeling better real soon and can get back out in your shop!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Those are beauties Wally. Really nice wood and spalting.

[John Keeton]

Wally, those look great, and some of the most interesting wood I have seen. Beautiful colors, and the interaction of the growth rings with the spalting has created some very attractive patterns and color.

Hope you get back to the shop soon!

[David Christopher]

Great piece Wally
Hope you get to feeling better. Your work is always an inspiration.

[Don McClure]

What type of finish did you use?

[Brian Effinger]

Phenomenal hollow forms, Wally.

I hope you are on the mend, and can get back in the shop soon.

[Richard Madison]

Get well Wally! Get well now.

[Mike Peace]

Hope you are able to get back to turning soon.

I like the color match of the rosewood collar with the spalting.

[BILL DONAHUE]

Beautiful, as is all of your work. Hope your health is back to normal and that you'll be doing more covers of catalogs, etc. You're an inspiration with the high quality and innovative things you produce.

[George Guadiane]

Very nice work!

[Jeff Nicol]

Wally, I know how the sickness stuff feels, it seems like this has been the worst winter for me in many years. I hope you are feeling better and able to get back in the shop.

The HF's are just beautiful! Spalted wood of that caliber with the different colors of wood are hard to find sometimes. It really gives the name "Mapwood" the reason for the name. Nice job with the collars and finish as always.

Take care and thanks for sharing,

Jeff

[Mike Minto]

beautiful wood, excellent work! spalted wood and hollow forms just go together, don't they?

[Rob Cunningham]

Great looking HF's Wally. Hope you're feeling better soon.

[Harvey Ghesser]

wow! Beautiful!

[Wally Dickerman]

Thank you everyone for your comments and for your concern about my health.

I spent a little time in my shop yesterday and the day before. First time in 2 months....I must be getting better.
