What a unique form and beautifully figured wood! Nice piece Greg!

I haven't figured out a name for it yet....maybe the Winged Monster?

I don't own a lathe yet, but I'll bet that thing "wobbled" crazily on the lathe while you were turning it.

[Greg Heppeard]

Yeah, notice the speed on the lathe....if I went any faster, it would have walked out the shop door.

Thats a beautiful piece. I really like the pictures showing what it was before and what it has become. Very interesting. Great work.

[Matthew Poeller]

Very nice. I really like the looks of that.

Great Work.

[John Hart]

Very nice Greg!! Thanks for the in-process pics.. I love that. The other day, I was going for something like this shape you have here. One little catch....Blam!!!! The vase snapped off at the base and flew across the room. Yours however....looks oh so much nicer!!!

[Greg Heppeard]

Thanks John. I was kinda worried about that with this piece, but the White Top turns really nice and the sap pockets didn't seem to bother anything at all. I ended up with less than a 3/16" wall, but with the out of balance, the left wall is thinner than the right by about 1/32"

Wonderful piece of wood and very cool use of it in the vase. Very eye catching! Let's see some more.:D

[Jim Becker]

That is an incredibly interesting piece. Great form and wonderful material. A winner!

[John Shuk]
