Maple hollow form

[Travis Stinson]

Turned this from some Maple that Jim Ketron left with me in April. Found a little curl in the blank that was tough to get a good pic of. I shaped the opening into a collar profile, then burned the rim detail with my branding pen. 10" diameter by 7" tall, buffed gel poly finish.

Great piece Trav. I really like the collar treatment on this one. Great form and finish as always.:) :) The curl really stands out, great pic !

[Curt Fuller]

That's a beauty Travis! So the collar is the same wood as the rest of the piece, just burned? You did a beautiful job of texturing it too.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Awesome Travis. I like the form and finish. Beautiful job.

[Travis Stinson]

Curt, yes, it's one piece. It was sanded along with the rest of the turning, then burned. The burning tip did the texturing.

[Vaughn McMillan]

That's very cool, Travis. I really like the collar treatment. I guess you're proof not all the great turners are from down south. ;) :)

[Travis Stinson]

Thanks Vaughn. But.............I think I'm one of the Southern-most members in here.;)

[Corey Hallagan]

Yes, I think Travis is the ringleader of that Dixie bunch! :)

[Dick Parr]

Great job Travis, I had my chance on that one but was a nice guy and gave it back.:D

The picture does not do it justice;)

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Doh! I mixed up my MS and MA. Honest, I really didn't mean to call you a Yankee. :eek: :p

[George Conklin]

[Tom Sherman]

Great looking piece Travis, the burn on the rim is super and the figure of the wood is just awsome.

[Travis Stinson]

Doh! I mixed up my MS and MA. Honest, I really didn't mean to call you a Yankee. :eek: :p

- Vaughn
Is that forgivable???;)

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

I really like the burned detail. It really sets the piece off!

[Andy Hoyt]

Sure am glad you left ME outta this one:D

[John Miliunas]

Just another wonderful representation of your skills, Travis! Beautiful! :) :cool:

[Mark Cothren]

First of all, I'll tell you guys that they don't come any more "Southern" than Travis... and I live in Arkansas!!! :D

Travis, this is another great piece. The collar and rim treatment just shows more of your imagination and "vision" for making a piece look special.

This is a great piece of wood, and a great piece.

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Travis, this is beautiful. Love seeing your work, thanks for posting it.:)

[Mark Cothren]

Hey Travis, any chance you could show a pic of the bottom of this HF?

I know I'd love to see it.

[Jim Becker]

Scrumptious!!!

[Ed Scolforo]

Sure am glad you left ME outta this one:D
Ya, Andy, but he got my MA involved :D .

[Glenn Hodges]

The contrast makes it even more beautiful. I think the use of the branding iron gave it a different look which I also appreciate.

[Travis Stinson]

Thanks everyone (Even you, Vaughn :p ).
Mark, the bottom is nothing special, just a concave spot.
