Segmented Kingwood HF

[Keith Burns]

Finished this HF today. It is Kingwood and contains 147 pieces. Measures 4-3/4 " diameter x 7" tall. The base is Wenge. This started out as a 3/4" thick board 8" wide x 34" long. Sorry I didn't take any "in process" pics but either I'm too lazy or I forgot, can't remember which. Thanks for lookin'.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Looks mighty fine Keith. Love the pattern on it. Great work. I hope to try that one of these days.

[Jim Dunn]

Keith I like the pattern too. Reminds me of seargents stripes. Very nice!

[John Hart]

Definitely a woman...A REALLY nice lookin' woman at that!! Beautiful Form Keith! The grains make it look like thatch. Wonderful piece all around!:)

[Michael Stafford]

Keith, wonderful work. Your segmented work makes me want to put down my boxes and start cutting segments then I look at your segmented work and say, "Why embarrass myself?" Seriously beautiful work!!!

Keith, there is another forum out there somewhere which shall remain unmentioned that is having a turning contest where you are to turn a project from 2 board feet of wood or less. You started with about 1 2/3 board feet roughly, I did not use a calculator, so your project qualifies. You were supposed to take pictures of your starting pieces of wood and then your finished project.

Nice work!:D

[Dennis Peacock]

Oh....My.....Goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

Keith.......you've done a lot of very beautiful work, but this one buddy!!!! This is just drop dead gorgeous of both the form and the wood!!!!!!!

Outstanding...!!!!!:D :D

[Mark Cothren]

Yessir Keith, that is mighty fine! Very inspiring work, to say the least! Very impressive! Everything about this one looks good to me.

Thanks for the picture!

[Jim Becker]

Very interesting, Keith. And as usual, excellent work.

[Bob Noles]

Keith,

There are few things in life that have left me speechless, this one just got added to the list.

OMG.... that is a beautiful work of "ART". Superior in every way.

[Rich Stewart]

What everybody else said goes double for me. Wow! That is one beautiful piece.

[Paul Douglass]

The others have said all I could say. How about doing a second one with progress pictures?!

[Keith Burns]

Thank you all for your overly kind words. Believe me they are appreciated:)

[Frank Chaffee]

Keith,
As I’m sure you well know by now, I appreciate your work very much. To my taste, the form of this piece is quite graceful, but the grain of the segmentations is too busy.
What the form of this piece does suggest to me is that the use of affixed handles could enhance it.
