Great form....beautiful wood! Well done Jim! Do you spalt your own wood?

[Jim Ketron]

Thanks Ken!
Well it spalted on its own, not by choice:o
It was so humid in my shop after storing them in there during the hot summer they spalted on the shelfs:mad:
I'm going to try to get a Dehumidifier for the shop hope that will help keep it down. Its nice to have spalted wood when you want to spalt it, but not so fun when you dont:(

Jim that is another beautiful piece. I love the form and finish. Thanks for the answer to Kens question about spalting cause I was going to ask how you did that. Nice job Jim.

[Mark Cothren]

Great hollow form, Jim! Love that wood!

[Chris Barton]

That's a very nice piece Jim.

[Mark Pruitt]

Excellent HF, Jim! What did you use for the finish?

[Fred LeBail]

Jim, as usual another excellent HF

[Keith Burns]

Excellent p[iece Jim ! Great job:) :)

[Ted Calver]

Great form and that accidental spalting ain't so bad either.

[Jim Becker]

Beautiful piece. I happen to love spalted materials in turnings...outside of the need to sharpen every few seconds (the calcite...the black line part...is horrible on edges) and the absolutely need to wear breathing protection, especially when sanding.
