Peacock Silver Poplar

[Andy Hoyt]

At last summer's ParrBQ Dennis Peacock loaned me a chunk of silver poplar. He got the shavings back a couple months ago and I kept this part. I turned it not long after I got home, and it had the some of saddest color and most pitiful grain I've seen in a long time. Don't worry Dennis - it's all Joe's fault.

Nothing I tried brought out anything in the wood that looked good, so ya know what that means --- off to the Missus. I have no idea what she did to it, but here ya go. It's about 10" across by 8" tall or thereabouts.

If nothing else, it's different.

Uh... Andy, I think she made a bowl for her old crow to eat out of :) Or I suspect that was the influence for the birds. I think she did great!!

Andy she did a sweet job on the bowl. Of course a ice cream bowl for her old crow.:eek: :p :p

[Jim Ketron]

Awesome work Mr and Mrs Hoyt!
Beautiful!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Having Mrs. Hoyt paint poplar could become POPULAR! Well done on both your parts!

[Brad Kimbrell]

What a nice paint / dye job!

The translucent colors on the inside allow you to see the wood and the crows around the rim are really done well.

I wish I had that talent. I can draw all of the straight lines that you want, but painting is waaaaay out of my league!

Nice bowl too!

Andy...
I don't think it's "If nothing else, it's different."
I think it's... If nothing else it shows a wonderful talent that makes one wonder about her marriage decision.;)

[Kurt Rosenzweig]

Very nice Mrs.Andys wife!:D

[Ted Calver]

It appears the Raven is drinking Moxie!

[Keith Burns]

Andy, I just don't know quite what to say about this piece. Words can't describe my admiration for the talent it takes to do this kind of work. Great job by both of you.:)

[Dennis Peacock]

Well now...just look at the figure and grain in the bowl Andy!!!! :p :p :rolleyes:

Looks like Mrs. Hoyt bailed us BOTH outta trouble on the wood and the turning.:eek: :D

Very pretty indeed Andy....make sure you tell the missus that the BOTH of YOU did extremely well on this bowl.

[Paul Engle]

Very nice Mrs Hoyt:D , the interior is awsome and the ravens give it a pacific northwest tribal indian flavor seen in their culture from here ( north Idaho ) to South East Alaska. Very well done indeed. !!!! Are you from the PNW by any chance?

[Glenn Hodges]

I sure do like the art work on it.

[Andy Hoyt]

.... Are you from the PNW by any chance? Nope. But I once stayed in a Holiday Inn out that way.:D

Once again - Thanks all. Your praises and kudos will be tendered to Chrystine just moments before she is about to remind me of something I did wrong.

We have a few more of these. Wanna see 'em?

[Keith Burns]

Bring them on Andy !!!!!

[Jim Becker]

The other half is a valuable partner, Andy...let her have some more to "play" with!!
