This is What I Did With it!!!

A week or so ago I posted a maple cylinder that giving me some challenges. You all gave me advice and encouragement....one even suggested that I send to Dr Keller if it had too many holes in it. Well, here is the progression. C & C's if you have them!!!!!

The beginning.......206682206681

The result........206685206684206683

[David E Keller]

Well done, sir! Any piece that you can see through from front to back is a winner in my book! The shoulder is a little high for a traditional form, but there's no rule that says anybody has to be traditional... In fact, I hear there are no rules at all! Kudos!

[Kathy Marshall]

Looks good! and a nice chunk of wood too!

[Bernie Weishapl]

That is a beauty and well done. Really nice wood.

[Scott Hackler]

That turned out nice and its no wonder Keller likes it with that fist sized hole in the side!

[Chris Burgess]

Very nice. Well done.

[Mike Willeson]

Very interesting piece to look at. Not having done a piece like that, it makes me wonder how it hangs together.

[Michelle Rich]

silk out of a sow's ear!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Well that sure worked out nice! Good form and I love all the character in the wood! You should be happy with the results!!

[charlie knighton]

very nice, +1 on what Keller said, rules what rules

[Baxter Smith]

Good looking piece from a rough looking blank! Well done Mike!

[Jon Nuckles]

Kudos to you on seeing the diamond in that rough blank and on perservering! Nice looking piece and some fantastic grain on the top.
