Hickory Vessel for Autum

[Joe Meirhaeghe]

Here's a hickory piece I made with the colors of the season Autum. So I'll just call it Autum. It's 9' tall X 5 1/4" dia. Airbrushed with yellow,red oxide,& black, Acrylic artist paints. Then top coated with gloss varnish. I didn't measure the wall thickness but when you inside the top you'll see light through most of it. All critiques & comments welcome.

Very pretty indeed and a pleasing shape.

That's a cool looking piece. Hickory is interesting anyway, but you added some neat detail.

[Bernie Weishapl]

That is a beauty Joe. Very pleasant shape.

Joe - you sure have these forms wired! Very cool looking wood and your touch of acrylic really adds to the look! Nice work!

[Jim Burr]

Sure is a great form Joe...and a cool idea!

Thanks for your positive comments. I've been really lucky at acquiring some really nice hickory over the last 2 years or so. It's working it's way up near top of my favorite woods.

Joe, another winner!! I like the autumn theme on this one. I assume the dark in the base was part of the wood color and not acrylic??

Thanks John. The bottom is actually painted with a combination of transparent color & opaque black acrylics. I tried to follow a growth ring around the piece. That's why the colors are higher on one side than the other.

Very well done!

Beautiful piece.
