Afzelia burl hollow form

[Travis Stinson]

Having fun using my mini hollowing rig on the Jet mini. Afzelia burl with a rolled Ebony collar. 4" diameter by 3 1/2" tall. Light coat of Watco then buffed.

Well, I don't know what to say. Sweet! Fine! Pretty! Wonderful! That is all I could think of......;)

Trav,
Come on man,
Waay………………….too cool.
You are redefining parameters of existence for guys like me.

Travis, that's a wonderful form. Beautiful.

I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty to faddle with your photo a little to bring it closer to what I think is the natural color. There is still a little blue at the edges that I couldn't remove. (Hopefully, you're not using a blue background for your photo tent...any colored backdrop will transfer to the piece being photographed if there is any sheen at all. I don't thing that is the case here, however...probably over-saturation and white balance with the camera.

Here it is...

More good stuff, Travis! I'm really liking this collar you're doing. I'm gonna have to try that one out...

What a great piece of wood!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Beautiful work Travis! I gotta know..........you are turning the collar separately and then glueing it on?

[John Miliunas]

Good grief, Travis!.... You're some kind of creative machine over there, man! :eek: Somehow, though, I never tire of seeing your beautiful work. Fantastic piece of wood and you did it justice! :) :cool:

[Andy Hoyt]

My hat should "be off" to ya, but it's staying put for now. Well done!

And you too, Jim. You should give us a lesson on how to do this "faddling" thing.

[Travis Stinson]

Jim, I had taken the pics outside and must have left some setting off.:o
Ken, yes, the collar is turned seperately then glued on.;)

Beautiful as always Travis!
Love it!

[Ernie Nyvall]

And just when I think I'm making a little headway. I want to pick this one up and hold it for a while. Nice Travis.

Jim,
Would this not perhaps be a good time for a pic enhancing tutorial?

Beautiful Travis. That is a wowzer. I like the form and finish.

[Gil Jones]

It is definitely a beauty!

[John Hart]

Holy cow Travis....Gorgeous!!! When you're rich and famous...are you going to forget about us?:rolleyes: :)

[Chris Barton]

Again, fabulous work Travis! I aspire to such!

[Glenn Hodges]

Travis, this is another picture of perfection, thanks.

[Mike Ramsey]

Another master piece from the master!

[Henry C. Gernhardt, III]

That is a lovely form, Travis. The grain is well set off by the shape. I'm rather partial to that shape as well---it seems somewhat humaniform and vaguely feminine---both items that lend to a soothing visual experience.

[Keith Burns]

Would we expect anything less? Ithink not :) :)

[Dick Parr]

Now you are getting the hang of it.:eek:

Again a beautiful job well done. I think these wood blanks love coming to your place Travis, they never looked so good.:D ;)

[Travis Stinson]

Maybe so Dick;) . Thanks for the comments everyone, even you Mr. Hart.:p

[Dennis Peacock]

Outstanding Travis....as usual, wonderful turning and great form. :D
