Cedar HF

[David E Keller]

Cedar with african blackwood collar and detail ring.

~7 inches tall and 3.5 wide.

This is the first piece that I completed with my new monster articulated rig. It is a sweet little tool that makes hollowing a breeze. The detail ring is African blackwood dust mixed with epoxy. Finished with shellac and tung oil. I'll buff it in a week or so.

Another one :eek::eek:..dude I suspect you have become a machine since recieving your monster.

by the way great job.

[David DeCristoforo]

That's a real eye popper. Beautiful! I would have to look at from at least fifteen feet away as I have a severe reaction to cedar. But on the other hand, I have never seen cedar look so fine...

[Sid Matheny]

I guess that is the best looking cedar HF I have seen. A1+

[David DeCristoforo]

I keep coming back to look at this. There's something compelling about it. It's just a beautiful piece of work. And I love those golden streaks in the wood.

David,
That is the nicest turned cedar I've ever seen! Beautiful form and contrast too. You're on fire, and I like (read want to be) your willingness to experiment.
Randy told me Friday that if people would quit bugging him, he'd get some work done....:o My mini's cueing up in the rotation!

Nah... Just mixing it up a bit. The photo was my wife's selection... A friend of ours had a 'pimps and hos' party for his 50th birthday, and this was my pimp uniform.

Thanks for the nice comments everybody.

David, that Monster rig has opened a whole new world for you!! This is one gorgeous piece! Such beautiful color, and the red/black combo is striking!

[Jack Tyree]

I keep coming back to look at this. There's something compelling about it.

The compelling part of it is that the pattern in the piece exactly matches the form of the piece. My guess is that he somehow planned it that way, but anyway you did a helluva nice job, Dave! That's a keeper.

[Scott Hackler]

David that is a great looking HF. You sure have been churning out some nice stuff lately.

[John W Dixon]

Wow that is absolutely gorgeous! I love the form and the color combo.

[James Combs]

All I can say is ooooooohhh.

[William Hutchinson]

Excellent form and the black lip treatment sets the piece off nicely. Well done.

[John Hart]

This has to be your finest work so far David. If it isn't...I want to see the other. Your form, proportions, color, and overall design are just flat-out perfect. Congratulations!:)

You guys are too kind. I guess a blind squirrel really does find a nut every now and then, huh?
