I keep browsing through the beautiful creations that everyone's turning. I marvel at the finished products. I have just learned how to look at a log and I'm starting to grasp what might be there and how to attack it.
But, when I see some of these hollow forms with irregular patterns and voids, and natural edge bowls, I scratch my head a bit wondering what the blank looked like.
Here's the plea, when you show these amazing pieces, can you show a pick of the blank, too? Mounted or not, probably doesn't matter so much. I don't know, maybe it does, but at least a view of the blank so those of us that are learning can get a grasp of the process.
Thanks to all who do it, and to heck with anyone who doesn't! :)
