Maple hollow form.

[David E Keller]

It's a pretty piece, but I'm gonna have to know a bit more about the name you chose... BM?

[Joe Landon]

Named after Bert Mercier. He planted the tree in front of our office several years ago. He was the CEO. The business is now ran by his son and grandson.

[David E Keller]

That clears things up! In my line of work, BM has another potential interpretation... I knew my version didn't fit with such a nice looking piece.

[Jim Burr]

Mine too! I like the wood better!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Another nice one Joe.

[Baxter Smith]

Very pretty!

[Norm Zax]

Great use of the wood at hand!

[Harvey Ghesser]

What a beautiful form!

[Cathy Schaewe]

What a beautiful form!
Ditto! And I too am glad to have an explanation of the name!

[Alan Trout]

I agree it is a wonderful piece but I also agree with the name BM as David suggest has an alternate meaning and the thread may get censored like the "Wood Turners Finish" thread did.:confused: They don't take to kindly to initials with possible different meanings over here.

Great work

Alan, you're joking, right? BM could signify virtually anything -- a place, someone's initials, a number. My first reaction was that it signified the guitar chord, B-minor. Even if Joe intentionally referenced what you're implying, he must have done that for a purpose, and that's within an artist's prerogative. We're creative people. Every time we chuck up a blank and begin to spin it against a sharp tool, we're pushing the limits of awareness and creativity. That's the nature of art.

I love this piece. What an amazing contrast. Perfect/
