Very cool and unique turning! I like it. Now, I gotta ask, what is planetree?

[Jerry Marcantel]

You are way outside the box, Lionel.... Good imagination. I stared at that for 10 minutes before coming up with my lame reply. Good job, and please, keep it going. ...... ....Jerry (in Tucson).

I like it but not sure what it is. I doubt I will try one, don't have a death wish.:confused:

[Allan Ferguson]

Definitely different, but appealing piece that I would put on display in my home. Makes me wonder were your ideas come from. I do not believe that anything that you have posted has not been appreciated by me.

Lionel, I love the piece and you've inspired me to try turning offset non-cylindrical wood blanks.
Thanks!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Love the imagination Lionel!! This is one of those pieces you can stare at for a long time and wonder just how you turned it! Very cool! Thanks for sharing!

Plane tree is a hybrid of the American and oriental/eastern Europe Sycamore.

Wow, that is something. That could have left a mark! Very interesting and neat piece.

Very neat tea pot, if you add a handle.

Great concept for turning the pieces, I guess it stayed out of balance the entire time with the spout.

Would you think of carving out the spout a bit more to provide a more realistic sense that the spout worked, or do you have other plans for it?

I am very impressed by your skills. The technical difficulty of this piece is way up there.

Lionel...this is very cool...I saw more of your creations over on the AAW site in the Forum Galleries and I was very impressed. Please share more of your work on this forum...

Lionel your turnings are always an inspiration, well done.

[Baxter Smith]

As amazing as ever Lionel. Thanks for the in progress pics especially. It gives some idea how such a thing was created!

[Michael Dromey]

JUST WOW. The only thing I can say.

[Alan Trout]

Really cool piece, I like it and I like to see people think outside of the box.
