The Walnut Trio

[Tim Thiebaut]

About a month ago I posted a Walnut lidded box I made, at the time I had the idea of making a set of 3 all slightly different from one another, but the wood for the other 2 was just to wet still to work with. eventualy it got dry enough for me to turn and here are the results, in the picture with all 3 of them the one in the middle is the original I posted a month and a half ago. They are all roughly "7 tall overall and average width is about "3 1/2, many coats of WOP on all of them, sanded to 600.

Here is the original post from a while ago...

Boy Tim,

These are really nice! Very nice turnings......I like all 3 forms, but the one on the right is my favorite....a bit like a big apple! Just super nice..........one can really see your maturity developing as a turner.........keep 'em coming!

[Baxter Smith]

Very nice Tim! Ditto Rogers thought about the one on the right reminding me of an apple.

[John Keeton]

Tim, you are really getting the hang of this turning thing!! Excellent work! If you do another of the Keith Burns exclamation finials, you might try a very smooth and long curve to the top. That is the absolute only thing I can see on these that might be improved - great job!

[Jim Burr]

Very well done Tim! Maybe it's just me, but I'm transported back to the '70's when I see these...except for the clothing...it's not a bad thing.

[David E Keller]

Lovely trio, Tim. I particularly like the one on the left as a stand alone, but the grouping is top notch.

[Bob Bergstrom]

Really well done. Like the stems. Maple contrast gives good contrast and interest.

[charlie knighton]

very nice.....

[Dan Forman]

Like like! Agree about the apple.

Sweet group. I like the left one a lot. The center one would by my "favorite".

[Faust M. Ruggiero]

Nice work, Tim. They make a great set of covered vessels. Tha apple is my favorite also. If it were shiny red I would want to take a bite of it.

Tim - looks like you started your own series with these! Nice work - pleasing wood combination! Looking forward to seeing more!

[Justin Stephen]

Very nice work and nice stems. I also like the left one the best. I think the rim thickness you chose for the left one works a little bit better than the middle one. With that nice contrast between the two woods, the slightly thicker rim works very well.

[Tim Thiebaut]

Thanks again for all of the nice words here everyone. I considered making new finials but then they wouldnt have matched the original I did a month or so ago...the middle piece, so I figured for these 3 they would work ok. Love working with the walnut and maple.
