Holy cow, really pretty!

Reminds me of an old antique apple cider bottle I found in the woods...

Fantastic piece, Joe! I love the form and the coloring is over the top! I'm not usually a fan of high gloss but yours looks flawless and seems to work well.

That really rocks! Great job, what's not to like!
Just curious, do you airbrush, I've got to believe yes.

Joe this is a wonderful piece! I love the shape and the dye job is spectacular! Really well done, and a beautiful finish to boot! I've been fighting with my first dyed piece of maple for the last two days. It's getting the clear coat on it now. I have a new respect for you folks who dye your pieces, it can be quite a process. One purple thumb later...

Joe, you should warn us up front, that way my jaw won't hit the floor so hard next time. This is truly stunning my friend. It's like a galaxy trapped in a turning. You sir are an excellent example of a turner at the top of his game. I can only try harder to climb up the ladder to join you. |Well done my friend.

Another thumbs up in all areas. Form, finish, and the thing I like most is the never ending depth.
