Lionel,
That is way cool. Great job and tool control and execution.

[charlie knighton]

very nice, good idea and follow though

[Roger Chandler]

That is a truly neat piece!

[Jim Burr]

Echoing Ken...tool control with a healthy amount of intestinal fortitude gave you some great results!!

[Michelle Rich]

very cool..the wood orientation was perfect for this! very interesting concept!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Once again - a very imaginative turning! Great work Lionel and asks the question... How did he do that?

[Deane Allinson]

Great piece!! Sculptural. Not bad Walnut at all.

[Scott Lux]

Spectacular!

[Deane Allinson]

I got on a better monitor and am now able to see that it is a spout on the sharper end that is conected to the larger opening. Kind of like a tea pot.

Verry cool and original--nice wood contrast too.

[Rick Markham]

That's a really cool piece! Makes me want to pick it up.

[John Aspinall]

What Rick said. Absolutely begs to be handled. I love this sort of piece.

If you have any principles, hints, or tips on how to plan the multiple axes for this kind of turning, I'd be interested in hearing more about it.
