A ca-joined pair of hollowforms

[John Spitters]

Both forms came from the same chunk of wood, ( Figured Maple ) the smaller form was the left over piece in the chuck from turning the larger form.
Larger form measures 7"h x 5 7/8"w smaller form is 4 3/8"h x 4 3/8"w on the smaller form it was my intention to have the width and hight the same, yet still have a pleasing form. Walnut collar on the larger form, form was dyed red sanded back then yellow and several coats of W.O.P. Smaller form was first bleached then dye and finish was done the same as the larger one, and of course the orientation of the turning was changed.

Very pleasing forms and attractive colors.

[James Combs]

Very nice and they both flow well. What is the wood species, my guess is curly Maple?

[John Keeton]

Very nice work, John. I love the curly maple as a canvas for dye - it is perfect. The smaller form really benefited from the change in grain orientation.

[Jim Burr]

These are amazing John!!! Very oriential! I hate to say it, but a gloss finish may be cool here adding to the asian flavor of the work. I'll be looking at these for a while!

[Scott Hackler]

Very pleasing forms and color.

[Roger Chandler]

Very well done forms.........i like the change in grain orientation with the smaller form.............neat dye job as well.

[Baxter Smith]

Very pretty color on the big one and the wood is great John. I purchased some yellow transtint but have only put it on scrap. Now if I can just remember to use red first....

[Michelle Rich]

lovely forms, and the more dyed vessels I see the more comfortable I am with it. these are very colorful and pleasing.

[David E Keller]

Nicely done, John! The forms look great, and the coloring is quite vibrant!

[Bernie Weishapl]

John both are nicely done. I do like the colors of both and I like the contrast of the collar.

Excellent job of both HFs, I can't decide which I like better, so I'll just go with both.

[Steve Schlumpf]

John - first and foremost - excellent work on both of the forms! You also did great with the coloring! Nice work! Looking forward to seeing more!
