You know, you kind of think you are doing pretty good on your turnings then you see something like that and you realize just how clumsy your work really is. I and probably most of us have a long way to go.

Truly Incredible! Only a person who has the time, the patience and the inclination to spend on an endeavor as these could pull these off. A full time vocation of one who is surely an artist!

I have a deep appreciation for the musical instruments, as years ago, I used to play a french horn, trumpet and baratone which he has in his pictures. This is amazing from a creative and woodworking skill standpoint, not to mention again the time and patience it takes to do this kind of thing.

I agree with James who said something to the effect that when we look at our own turnings and measure them by something like these which a master has done, then we surely are humbled and see how far we are from reaching true excellence.............gee whiz...........I am humbled just to see this.
