This Weeks Mini - Something Different

[Bill Stevener]

Thought I might try some of the Blue Dyed Stabilizeed Maple Burl.
Turns real nice. Next will be Red.

Bill, nice looking turning.

Is that a hollow form? How thick are the walls? :)

[Andy Hoyt]

Geez! That thing is huge.

Or did you forget to resize the dime?

Or is our currency being devalued again?

Pretty stuff, Bill. Thanks

[Bernie Weishapl]

That is awful pretty Bill. Did that dime go thru the dryer?:eek: :D

[Michael Stafford]

Way smaller than I want to do, but still quite lovely Bill. Nice work!:D

[Keith Burns]

Personally Bill, this one seems a little large for you:eek: :D . Another great one:) :) :)

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

I don't care about the size being a little big; it's purdy! (Kaching)

Bill,

I appreciate all these little tiny things you guys make, but after my experience today, I can REALLY appreciate a tiny burl thing :eek: :eek: :eek:

Good work Bill!

[Bill Stevener]

Hi All'
Thanks for the kind words.

Clem, yes it is a 100% Hollow form. Unfortunately, I do not possess a tool small enough to get in to a form of this type, in order to gage the wall thickness, however it is very, very thin walled. When the walls of the small turnings begin to get thin, the turning begins to sing in a high pitch.

I know the turning is larger than some I have turned. The size is relative in the 1/2" scale world, in real life the vase is less than 12" tall.

With the cost of this type of wood, I am not going to waist a chip.:D
