Baxter: per your request (and for all)

[Michelle Rich]

These 7 negative space designs will be represented at the show, plus bowls, HFs, solid space designs, and my shaker rockers, and my windsor chairs.
Get out your bifocals and your calipers & have fun! :D

[Doug W Swanson]

I don't think I can pick a favorite. They are all beautiful!

[Michelle Rich]

You have excellent taste, Doug;)

[Scott Lux]

Astonishing! I like 2(escargot a courtin' I think?) and 4x4 best

[Alan Trout]

That is a wonderful collection of your work. Very nice to see all of them together.

Alan

[Russell Eaton]

I'm with Doug...hard to pick a favorite. Well done on all of them.

[Faust M. Ruggiero]

It's good to see all these pieces side by side. It shows how diversity of your imagination. All are negative space pieces but each is so different from the next.

[Michelle Rich]

good morning scott..what a memory! yes #2 is Escargots go 'acourtin' !! (I still love the name & I still crack myself up over it :D)

[Michelle Rich]

Faust, Russell & Alan: thanks for the pat on the back.

[Prashun Patel]

Mesmerizing. Thanks for posting. Would love to see a tutorial on this some time.

[Robert Henrickson]

It's good to see all these together at once. It should be a good show. It would help with discussing the different pieces if the photo names were more distinctive.

[Michelle Rich]

Prashun: I did a very short one here on Sawmill. I told folks it was dangerous and scary. As people tried, they found it dangerous and scary. So I no longer tell folks how to do it. I do not want to be blamed for operator error, and folks getting hurt

[Michelle Rich]

Robert..are you being droll? Very dry humor? Escargots go a'courtin' is not distinctive? 4 x 4 4 x 2 Working at Cross Purposes..all are distinctive and DESCRIPTIVE.

[Don Nicholas]

Stunning display, I for one would love to see your Shaker rockers.

[Tim Rinehart]

Even more impressive seeing your work in a 'collection'. Look forward to seeing up close sometime.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful Michelle. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite.

[Scott Lux]

Where and when is this show?

[Robert Henrickson]

Robert..are you being droll? Very dry humor? Escargots go a'courtin' is not distinctive? 4 x 4 4 x 2 Working at Cross Purposes..all are distinctive and DESCRIPTIVE.

No -- I'm well aware of your names which are indeed distinctive -- I was referring to the image file name -- "004.jpg" is a bit unclear when someone is trying to comment on one of seven pieces.

[Michelle Rich]

OOOOHHHHH, yep that would be odd to call the things..next time I shall be more on the ball..

[Jay Jolliffe]

Their pretty interesting Michelle. Any chance of doing a tutorial on how the were done.

[Baxter Smith]

They are all great Michele, though seeing them in person would be even better!

To be honest, my first thought when I saw this post wasn't about calipers or bifocals, as neat as they are, they still don't hold a candle to your chairs.:)

[David DeCristoforo]

These look great together!

[Michelle Rich]

Hi Jay: read prashun's post...I did another on how to make Spider! It is relatively safe to do. I will try to find the tutorial and repost, or find a way to link it..tho I have no idea how to link

[Philip Duffy]

Fantastic work, Michelle! Would love to see you Windsors. Have you written for the AAW Journal on how to do these wonderful turnings? philip

[Michelle Rich]

Phillip:Read above posts as to tutorials...
