Man has it been a long time since I posted

[sascha gast]

I devoted this summer mostly to my photography, but I still managed to get a few bowls done.
I also finally have a photo site where I keep pictures of my turnings,

and all my other stuff



so here's what I have been up to on the days I spent in the shop

Sascha good to see you here again too. But did you have to raise the bar on your first post in ages??:) Pretty stuff.

[Adam Howard]

Superb work as always, Sascha!

Glad to see you back around.... (pun intended)...

[Mark Pruitt]

That is some pretty incredible wood. All kinds of stuff going on there. Great photography too!

[Charles E. Martin V]

It's about time. I was starting to seriously worry about you. Your pictures look great. Any interest in quitting your real job yet?:)

[Jim Becker]

Ah, those are beautiful, Sascha! Great photography, too.

The form you chose is very appealing to me. I have a similar piece in my collection done in Ponderosa Pine by Phil Brennion that I bought at and AAW Symposium benefit auction a few years back. This form really lends itself to the transparent treatments! Wonderful work!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Sascha it is beauty. Good to see you back with a bang. Wow.

[sascha gast]

thank you guys, I haven't been reading forums at all, spending lots of time with photoshop.
What a summer we had here, just great and turning was done usually after midnight to about 4am, my typical creative time.
I still have another 8 or so pieces of NIP soaking in the soap tub. in 2 weeks I will be going to greece for a week, little gift from my bosses, but when I get back, I gotta finish them. Getting ready for the holidays:D.

glad to hear from all of you guys

[Travis Stinson]

Good to see you back around Sascha. Always enjoy seeing your work.:cool:

[Tyler Howell]

Was worth the wait. Great stuff Sascha.
Picture police seal of approval.

[sascha gast]

a warm thank you to you two as well, good hearing from you

[Philip Duffy]

Wow, what great wood and turnings. Shades of Ron Kent at your place! Phil

[Ernie Nyvall]

Always look forward to seeing your work Sasha. Very nice and good to see you post again.

[Mark Cothren]

Those are some wild colors, for sure!

[Gary Herrmann]

Wow. Beautifully done. Good motivator to get me to keep trying.

[Mark Singer]

Sascha,
Great turnings and I like you photograpy too! Thanks for giving us an update....

[sascha gast]
