A John Keeton Burl

[Ed Morgano]

This is one of the pieces that John Keeton gave me when I came to visit. It's a Black Walnut burl. About 6" diam. x 10" tall. John, I hope you like what I did with it. C&C Welcome.

Most definitely Keetonesque! That one is a standout for sure Ed! Nice wood, and you have done a nice job with the form....the finial is certainly Drozda/Keeton in style and the pedestal base is really nice............the proportions in height relating to the pedestal and finial seem to be nearing equal size..........maybe an illusion of the angle of photography........

Superb! Move over John...........your protoge' is gaining on you! ;):D

[Donny Lawson]

Ed, that is some great work. I like everything about it.

[Ron Bontz]

What can any one say? Just beautiful.

[Tony De Masi]

Wonderful job Ed. I really like the proportions on this one. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the bottom of the pedestal. It seems to be almost fighting for attention with the HF itself, but that's just me.

[Dennis Ford]

That is a great piece, it has everything; artistic design, workmanship, fine wood and a great finish.

[Bill Bolen]

Beautiful piece ED. I've found that I don't care for 2/3 of the elevated hf's I've seen and don't like any I have done. The proportions need to be spot on to be beautiful. Haven't got those figured out yet but it looks like you do! Really nice.

[Ken Hill]

Looks great! John should be proud!

[John Keeton]

Works for me, Ed!! That sure looks different than that gnarly old chunk of wood I gave you! I would say you should be proud of this one, and you got the dimensions a bit smaller than your previous pieces, too.

[Jay Rasmussen]

Beautiful work Ed

[David E Keller]

Beautiful! This is my favorite of the pieces you've shared with us... It's got a certain masculine quality that I like. My only tiny nit to pick would be the transition from form to finial base/lid... I generally prefer a smooth transition. Even if the lid is intended to sit proud, I think it flows better if the curve doesn't change at the lid/form junction. Either JK is really generous, or he didn't figure that piece of wood was going to be so pretty in it's finished state!

[Baxter Smith]

Nice job with some very pretty wood Ed. Your work seems to be slimming down and getting more and more refined!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful Ed. Form and finish look great.

[Steve bellinger]

great job man, and that wood is just awesome.

[Joe Watson]

That sure is pretty, i like every thing about it.

[Bill Wyko]

Thanks Ed for the great pictures. John, that piece is absolutely extraordinary. One of those pieces that reminds you of just how much fun this really is. Very well done my friend.

[Kathy Marshall]

Beautiful piece Ed! You're really doing a great job and your pieces just keep getting better and better!

[Michelle Rich]

stunning vessel..it's a beauty

[Michael Short]

Ed, that is a very nice turning. Great job on your finish.

[Jim Burr]

Wow...I have no hope. This is great Ed...I love the foot...mixed up the wood, nice. The HF itself is a bit glossy for me, but I'm dull and that's how I like it! Finial is great...lot's of delicacy (did I use that word?) to be seen. Put it on the wall!!!

[Rich Aldrich]

Beautiful wood and you did it justice.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Ed - you are really starting to get these forms down well! Nice work... beautiful wood and finish! Looks like you are having fun!!

[Harvey Ghesser]

Ed, let me just echo all of the above, and add....a very lovely sight!
