Maple HF

[Keith Burns]

This piece of maple came from Frank Kobilsek in a wood exchange. I definately came out on the winning end of this trade. This piece measures 7-3/4" tall and about 6-1/2" dia. This wood has so much character the photos don't do it justice. Finished with wipe on gel poly and beall buffed. As always you comments and critiques are accepted. Thanks for looking.

What a piece of wood, and an excellent job Kieth.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Well done Keith! The figure in that wood....beautiful!

[Steve Schlumpf]

WOW! That wood is beyond beautiful! Love the classic form!

[Ed Scolforo]

That wood is something else, and your form is right on. You should be very pleased with this one!

Love the form, but I'm fond of that shape for a vase!
Ad that wood just takes it over the top!

[Andy Hoyt]

Bravo!

"Kewel" even.

[Jim Becker]

Yes, you did get a winner there...both for the wood and the form. This is beautiful!

[Ernie Nyvall]

Man, that's some purdy wood. I really like the form too. Nice job Keith.

[John Hart]

Wow. I gotta say...I just love the spalt and the curl combo shown in pic #3. The form is wonderful. Nicely done Keith.

[Travis Stinson]

Beautiful wood and you show it off great with that form. Another winner! :D

[Bernie Weishapl]

Keith that is some awesome wood and vase. I do like the form. Nice job.

[Barry Stratton]

That is some amazingly wrinkled wood. Great form and finish!

Keith
Very nice. I think our trade was fair, I gave you wood I got for free from a co-worker and you sent me wood you got from your co-worker.

This maple looks so nice end grain that I hate to make bowls out of it.

Good Job.

Thanks all for your kind comments. I wanted something simple to show the grain/figure and once I started turning I knew where it needed to go:) . Frank, you're right, except you could get several small bowls from a piece like this. Thanks again.
