A truly unique vessel, and a well deserved bit of recognition....Congratulations!

I can't see the pic but I have held that piece in my hands and it is beautiful! Alan congrats! So are you still going to talk to me now that you are famous? :)

[Alan Trout]

Thanks all,

I really appreciate it came as a complete surprise. For me it is an honor to have a piece share the cover with some of the best turnings in the world. I have always thought of the WOW site as a place of inspiration for me. However SMC will always be my favorite.

Thanks,

Alan

I can't say I'm surprised! Congratulations!

Eugene,

Of course after all you are my casting hero, :D. If you don't know Eugene is the inventor of the Coffee Bean Pen blank. He is a very creative guy.

Alan, congrats on this. I cant see the picture (not a member of WoW) so maybe you could repost the picture for those of us you haven't been invited to WoW.

[John Keeton]

I have edited the original post to fix the problem with the pic. I had pasted the shortcut from the WoW site without thinking about the ability to view!:o

[Alan Trout]

Here is the pic.

Thanks, again.

Alan

Congrats Alan. Well deserved.

[Paul Douglass]

Well that vase deserves it for sure. I still don't understand how you cast that. How many gallons of whatever you use did the take. Maybe it is not as big as it looks?

Sorry to have to ask this but I'm from Benton City, WA. what is WOW?:o:o:confused:

World of Woodcraft??
