Walnut HF

[Keith Burns]

I recently got my new Captive Hollowing Rig set up and had to try it out. The first photo is of my first attempt. Think I'll get a laser set up next.:( The next three are of my second try. It is 4-1/2" dia. 2-3/4" to top of collar and 5-1/4" to top of finial. Walls about 1/8" Wipe on gel poly and buffed. Thanks for looking.

Looks like you got a grip on it Keith. Nice looking HF.

[Jim Becker]

Absolutely gorgeous Keith! Must be a southern thing........A lot of great turnings coming out of the South these days!

[Mark Pruitt]

Beautiful....just beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

[Dick Parr]

Great job Keith, that is a beauty.;) :D

[Vaughn McMillan]

Very nice, Keith. I thought someone here recently said the bowls with holes sell for more money. I guess it's not quite the same if you put the hole in it yourself, huh? ;)

[Travis Stinson]

Excellent! You've been home what? 3 days? Looks like that rig agrees with you.:D

[Ernie Nyvall]

Very nice Keith, That first view looks like that walnut has a little of that copper color in it.

Very nice, Keith. A wonderfully executed classic form, and that finial is quite nifty. What are the woods involved?

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Between you and Travis, I'm not sure I can hope to do that well on finials.

Very nice.

Beautiful job Keith. Look at it this way. You will never over fill the first one.:p Second one looks just awesome.

[Barry Stratton]

Wow Keith!! Pretty amazing pieces, well done! Did you start with green or KD wood????

[Glenn Hodges]

Keith these are super.

[Chris Barton]

Great looking work! Is the finnial ebony or an ebonized wood?

[Mark Cothren]

More great work, Keith! Looks great!

[Keith Burns]

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen (and Mark):) Chris, the finial is Ebony. The walnut was air dried which as I understand leaves a lot of color in the wood.

[Carl Eyman]

Good looking piece.
