2 Box Elder Hollow Forms

[Jim Ketron]

These 2 pieces are now In Keith Burns possession. one was a gift and the other he got on the pull a number out of the hat draw. I didn't have time to get pics of the turnings and Keith took these for me (Awesome pics Keith!) I cant remember the sizes maybe Keith can let us know But the tall skinny one has a natural collar and the short fat one has a bloodwood collar both have Gel Poly finish and buffed on the Beall.
EDIT: The tall skiny one is 8"tall X 4 3/8" wide.
The other one is 5 1/4" tall X 5 1/4" wide.

Jim,
Speaking for many of us, I’m sure,
May you turn for a long, long time.
Absolutely beautiful!

Love them. Like the top one better and it has better grain the last one you posted. Also love the contrast of the collar on the bottom one. Both are wonderfully executed.

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Wonderful, as usual, Jim.

[Mike Ramsey]

Do you ever turn anything that's not amazing!!

[Keith Burns]

Well I can tell you this Guys, these pieces ARE amazing. I AM proud to have them in my collection. The forms are perfect. The finish is like glass. You can tell that Jim cares, no shortcuts. Not one flaw, not one sanding mark anywhere. Makes me see how far I have to go. Thanks Jim.

[Michael Stafford]

Jimbo, looking mighty fine! Keith you are a lucky dawg to have two Ketrons.

I like the different forms and I like the natural collar; it actually has a lot of possibilities for forms to explore. Just good work, Jim!:D

[Mark Cothren]

More great stuff, Jim. I enjoyed seeing these live and they still look great in the pictures. I have one of these Ketron originals to take some pics of here in the next few days. Can't wait to share 'em with everybody here!

[Jim Ketron]

Thanks all for the complements!
Keith gave me the measurements I will update the original post with them.

[Andy Hoyt]

Great stuff there, Jim. Wanna just reach out and pull 'em off the screen to hold 'em for a spell. Maybe even rub 'em a bit to get the genie to grant a wish for talent like yours. Well done.

[Brad Schmid]

Wow Jim, as usual, those are really sweet!

[Corey Hallagan]
