Olive ash (one of my faves!) about 110mm x 110mm

I have been intrigued by a few really good turners work over the last few days and this piece is a result of work I have seen by Joe Landon and Andy DiPietro I think they create some beautiful lines and I would love to get to the point where I could shine their shoes! So off to the Studio and away we go again on a woody merry-go-round and this is what poped out the other side! All C&C welcomed

Very pleasing form, Richard. Great grain orientation and the finish is lovely. Nicely done!

Looks good to me Richard! This has a pretty nice flow to the curve from top to bottom, and the form meets the 2/3rds to 1/3rd ratio pretty well. The grain in this Ash is nice as well. Overall, a nice hollow form!

Looks pretty good to me!!! I like the work of both Joe and Andy, and I really like Andy's Oakcobolo finish. You have done a very nice job on this one - great form and finish, and love the grain on this.

Very nice turning Richard - I do see the influence! Fun little forms to turn! Looking forward to seeing what you create next!

Looks good to me Richard. I bet it would stand shoulder to shoulder with Andy and Joe's. They do set a high standard for these forms, but I think you are being quite humble.

It looks good to me. Most of the forms I've seen posted by the two turners you mentioned are taller forms whereas this is a bit shorter/wider... None of that changes the fact that this is a pleasing shape.
