Sycamore hollow form measuring approximately 6 inches tall by 5.5 inches wide. All comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.

The grain, pattern, and dye job on this piece really run together well. If you stare at it for a second, it almost seems like some sort of optical illusion.

Fantastic HF, and I'm sure the picture doesn't do it true justice!

[Michael James]

Nice piece and welcome! It' hollow and it's blue, what else matters???

Joe - Welcome to the Creek! Folks here that are not familiar with your work are in for a treat!

Beautiful form, color and texture! I am used to seeing lots of curl - but this is a really cool change!

[Greg Just]

Very nice - it almost appears that you can see through the piece. How did you do the carving?

[philip labre]

This is a fabulous piece, Joe!!! The form, texture and dye really come together with the quarter sawn grain in the center. Welcome and way to make a splash in the Creek!

[Steve bellinger]

Yep this is just a fabulous piece. Don't know your work, but if Steve says we're in for a treat, i'm sure we are after seeing this.

[John Keeton]

Joe, this is a wonderful piece - very much your classic work. Like Steve Schlumpf said, for those that are not familiar with your style, we are really going to enjoy your contributions here! Thanks for posting and being a part of this community.

Super cool! That form is one of my favorites, and the texture and color take it up a notch. Welcome to the creek, Joe. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful(and colorful) work.

[Bob Bergstrom]

I'm excited to see you on the Creek!! I've got many of your pieces "favorited" elsewhere, and truly enjoy observing the beautiful forms, finishes and embelishments you are able to achieve.

Thanks for the warm welcome and all the kind remarks. I appreciate them all.

Greg, the carving was all done freehand with palm gouges.

A great piece of work Joe!
Did you color the holes or is tha just darkness? Seems like you carved the slots, then sprayed black, then sanded a layer and dyed blue.

[bob svoboda]

Great work, Joe. Please keep sharing.

[James Combs]

WOW now that really plays with the mind.

Welcome to the creek Joe. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

[Harvey Ghesser]

Welcome, Joe...and thanks for sharing this fabulous eye candy with us!

The only problem I had with it was that it wouldn't stay still long enough! A terrific piece!

[Rob Cunningham]

An amazing HF. I can't wait to see more of your work. Welcome to the Creek.

[David DeCristoforo]

This reminds me of those 3D art pictures where, if you stare at them long enough or focus your eyes just right, a different image will appear. The faint ripple effect of the rings in the wood hints at something beneath the surface and it seems like if you look at it long enough it will magically reveal itself. But it remains hidden as if unwilling to make itself known. It's very deep and mysterious.

[Dick Wilson]

Great form. I have done brick putten and your work is terrific. The coloring is spot on. Beautiful work and welcome.

[Joe Landon]

A great piece of work Joe!
Did you color the holes or is tha just darkness? Seems like you carved the slots, then sprayed black, then sanded a layer and dyed blue.

The slots were carved, the entire vessel was dyed purple, the surface was sanded back, the entire vessel was dyed peacock blue. The peacock blue over purple forms a rich midnight royal blue - almost black.

[Josh Bowman]

Beautiful work! Post more of them.

[Jim Burr]

Welcome Joe! Absolutly beautiful! What else do you have hiding in the shop?

[John Hart]

Welcome Joe! Fine website you found here. :) Beautiful work, and impressive that you skipped on the dremel.
