Family Of Bottles

[Dave Schweitzer]

This is a set of Maple Burl Bottles that I had At St. Paul. I call it a Family because they came from the same stump burl from a very large tree. They range from 7" to 18" in height to 2 1/2" --- 6" in dia. Dad the largest has the same problem I have with gravity taking over his body. Joe if I screwed this up please fix it. I need to upgrade my brain to keep up with this darn computer stuff. Thanks.

You're quite the artist. I love your work!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Excellent work David! Always enjoy your turnings!

[Roger Chandler]

Wow Dave............I like that figured wood. A question on the form.......is it hollowed to the outside shape or does it have a straight hole bored out.........that is not meant to insult, so take my question as being just curious about the hollowing. I have heard you do some very nice work.

By the way.........not meaning to hijack your wonderful work.....I am really liking the CBN wheel! thanks for your great service!!!

[Nate Davey]

Ditto on the forms. Beautiful work and ditto on the CBN wheel and awesome service. Thanks.

[Michael James]

Beautiful little family there...!

[Dave Schweitzer]

Thanks Roger,
They are hollowed to about 3/16". very light when you pick them up I always enjoy the look on peoples faces when the pick them up. They give you this look wow and how.

[David DeCristoforo]

The technical skill required to hollow that shape of form with that small an opening is not average, I know that for a fact. Just asked because I felt like you had hollowed it that way, and I admire that kind of skill!

[Baxter Smith]

Very neat shapes and the wood is great! The grouping makes them even better!

[Dave Schweitzer]

Roger,
They could be hollowed from both ends and then one end plugged.
Dave.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Those are beauties. Really well done.

[David E Keller]

Beautiful stuff! I like them individually, but as a grouping, they're even better.

[Michelle Rich]

a skillfully turned lovely group

[John Keeton]

Great work, David! One of the things I like about your turning is the variety. Your pieces are remarkably "clean" and well designed, and the execution is flawless. That fancy wood sure doesn't hurt the looks either!

[Jim Burr]

See what happens when you make your own tools?! Those are really amazing Dave...you sure have the bottom hollowing thing down pat!

[wes murphy]

A nice symetrical set of bottles. Very nice work.
