playing around

[Gary Max]

The hollow form is Red Oak Crotch with some spalting---it was firewood.
Second is what I am calling a Aperitif Glass---BOW & HRB
I am going to turn a large batch and finish them all at once----if it ever warms up here.

[Jeff Hamilton Jr.]

Both are nice, but I'm partial to the little chalice -- cool.

[John Keeton]

Some nice playin' around, Gary! They look really good together, actually, and I am with Jeff - really like the little chalice/goblet!

BTW, don't count on it warming up!!:eek: Looks like the artic blast is going to be in KY for awhile. Expecting an ice storm tomorrow nite here - hope the power stays on, and hope you don't get hit, too!

[David E Keller]

Good work. I'm also partial to the little apertif glass. You guys are getting slammed with some cold weather, huh? If I'm not mistaken, Jeff Nicol's area got nearly 2 feet of snow the other day, so it could be worse!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Both are great pieces and some nice work. I do like the chalice/goblet.

I'm not sure how much Jeff Nicol ended up with but we had about 20" here in the Twin Cities. So much snow that the Metrodome roof collapsed (it's where the MN Vikings play). Here's a video showing it....

I really like the goblet but they are both very well done.

[David Reed]

Both are really nice - both the forms and the wood is fabulous. I am not sold on the stem of the chalice; seems a bit heavy to my eye but otherwise love-em.

[bob svoboda]

That's some cool playin' around.

[Mark Hubl]

Those both look good. I like the form and the wood speaks for it self. Keep playin around.
