Milady

[Lionel Mercier]

Hello all Creekers,
With another yew piece (I've fun with...)
Like the former tea pot and Tokkuri, idea is from the work of Tom Crabb.
but I remembered when I saw a piece of Jo Winter (a German turner) on the AAW
He named his piece "Lady in black"
So, obviously I call mine Milady...de Winter* of course !
H 96mm X dia 83mm
* see Alexandre Dumas - Les trois mousquetaires

Another nice looking piece, Lionel. I've really enjoy seeing this series come to life.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Lionel that is a beauty. Really well done.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Lionel - sure like your use of imagination! Very nice work! Thanks for sharing!

[Dennis Ford]

Very impressive piece, technically challenging and it shows good design.

[Paul Douglass]

That is surely impressive! I just don't get tired of looking at what people come up with on this forum. I don't think I will live long enough to get to the level people are here. Maybe if I spent more time at the lathe and less time looking and dreaming.

Nice work.

[Mark Hubl]

This are very interesting. Very nice piece.

[Pete Jordan]

Incredible!

I would love to see a video of that being turned.

[Frank Van Atta]

A beautiful and well done piece. Every time I see one of these beautiful vases I tell myself I'm going to turn one. Apparently, there's quite a distance between tellin' and doin' - I haven't turned one, yet.

[Lionel Mercier]

Hello all
Many thanks for your comments.
@ Pete:
no movie but some pictures taken when I did turn.
on the firsth 23, I turn a recess for the stebcentre in order to safely offset turn
all other pictures speak by itself.

[Dennis Ford]

Thanks for the "how-to" picture sequence. I will be looking for the right piece of wood to try this on.

[James Combs]

Intriguing to say the least. Is the whole thing hollow? What's the wall thickness if so?
