Water Elm HF

[Dennis Ford]

This hollow form is about 8" tall. The wall thickness is just under 1/4", finished with lacquer.

[John Keeton]

Well done! And, beautiful wood. What is water elm?? Not familiar with that one.

[Michael James]

Nice one and good job with the lacquer! Water elm?

[Dennis Ford]

John; what I call "water elm" is "Planera aquatica"

[Jon Nuckles]

Really nice form, wood orientation and finish!

[Baxter Smith]

Nice form Dennis with some pretty wood!

[Alan Trout]

Very nice form indeed. Well Done.

Indeed, very nice form and finish - ditto on the 'water elm???" But having said that, we have so few hardwoods here on the left coast that I am surprised quite often with a new (to me) wood I read about here.
Well done

[David E Keller]

That's really nice! I love the sap/heart contrast!

[Marc Himes]

Nice form and good job incorporating the sap wood, heart wood and natural edge.

[Johnny Taylor]

Really good form, the NE top looks great as does the superb finish.

[Michelle Rich]

SUPER! love the way you positioned the vase in the wood. nice contrast

[charlie knighton]

nice form, that is a lot of sapwood, was the tree standing by itself???

These trees have lots of sapwood, some have little or no heartwood.

[Scott Hackler]

Very nice. I love the sapwood orientation in this piece.

[wes murphy]

Love the form. Very nice work, Dennis.

[Terry Murphy]

Outstanding piece.
I have turned some Siberian elm, but doesn't look that good.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Now that's a hollow form! Love the form, grain orientation, NE opening and the finish! Very nice work on this one Dennis - you should be real happy with it!

[Billy Tallant]

Simply amazing. That looks great...
