[Ken Fitzgerald]

Beautifully done Horst!

[George Conklin]

Very pretty, Horst. I have never turned any Padauk before. How is it to work with?

[David Foshee]

Very Nice and the photography is great too.

[Keith Burns]

Very nice Horst. I like the form as it really shows the beauty of the wood.:) :)

[John Miliunas]

That is absolutely stunning, Horst! :) Hope you don't mind if I stash that form idea away for one of my own one of these days! :o :cool:

[Tom Sherman]

Very nice Horst, I have not turned any Padauk that size but I have used some for small poporie bowls and I'm sure the Picture does not do it justice

[Travis Stinson]

Great job Horst. Those colors are beautiful, you did a wonderful job of showing them off.:cool:

[Ron Jones near Indy]

That is simply beautiful! Very well done.

[Bruce Shiverdecker]

Horst, that is a fantastic bowl/plate. The Presentation REALLY sets it off!

The Picture just BLEW ME AWAY!

[Michael Stafford]

Pretty work, Horst. You not only turn pretty you take pictures pretty!:cool:

[Gary Herrmann]

Es tut mir leid, aber mein Deutsch ist saumassig. Das ist sehr hubsch.

Dang, I need a keyboard with umlauts and grosses Ss.

[Corey Hallagan]

Yikes! That's a cool one. Nice job Horst!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful job Horst. I like the presentation. Beautiful.

[Barry Stratton]

Simply beautiful bowl. Great photo to boot. Well done Horst.

[Vaughn McMillan]

Bravo on all counts, Horst. Excellent job. I've turned a little weed pot out of padauk, and the grain has beautiful depth when turned. I'm sure your bowl looks awesome in person.

Horst, you do some great work and this is no exception. Thanks for posting.:)

[Horst Hohoff]

Hello,
Thanks a lot for all the kind comments, especially those in German!
@George: all in all padouk is quite good to work. I find it slightly brittle, but that's not really a problem. Sometimes hidden cracks show up during turning.
It has to be treated with UV protection to keep the colour. Otherwise it will turn to a dark brown very quickly. It gives off a very pleasant smell when freshly cut, but unfortunately this wears off very quickly.

[George Conklin]

Thanks for responding, Horst. I think I'll go over to Woodcraft and pick up a piece and give it a try. When mine is done, it will be of no comparison to your's. You do some fine work, my friend.

Okay... Do the rest of you guys find yourselves reading Hosrt's comments, with a German accent or is it just me:confused: :D ;)
