Cherry Burl HF

[Jim Ketron]

I got in on a wood exchange at another forum and this is the piece I received.
This Burl has a lot of character you can turn it a little and it gives you a totally different view of grain patterns, voids, worm holes and curl each time. I just love working with pieces like this!
Sorry for so many pics but this piece can't be seen with just a few.
It measures 7 3/4 ” wide X 4” tall.
Buffed antique oil finish.
Comments Welcome!

I agree, with that piece the more pics the better. Great piece of wood and great form.

Wow! That is beautiful. I'm glad you post all the pics.

Perfect form and gorgeous wood. Doesn't get any better.

Jim....beautiful piece! Could you show a photo of the bottom....I'd like to see how you turn the "foot" on that.........

[Mark Cothren]

Great turning on a sho'nuff nice piece of wood! It has a little bit of a lot goin' on there in that wood!

[Jason Morgan]

Nice form and excellent wood. I hope I can do something like thatsomeday

[Jonathon Spafford]

That is a stunning hollow form... you did a great job on it! Love them hollow forms!

[Mike Vickery]

Beautiful piece Jim.

[Robert McGowen]

It still amazes me what people can see in a raw piece of wood. You seem to have got the maximum out of this one!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Wow! Once again you create a hollow form that is above and beyond! Beautiful wood and your finish highlights the flaws brings out the charactor. Each photo looks like a different HF - very, very nicely done!

[Frank Wilson]

Very pretty I like the form.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Jim that is a real beauty. I really like the wood and finish. Beautiful job Jim.

[Ron Sardo]

You did justice to that wonderful piece of wood Jim.
Well done!

[John Hart]

Astounding piece Jim. I sure would like to catch up to you. I know it won't happen....but I sure would like to!!!;)

[Keith Burns]

Jim, you nailed this one !! Great form and finish.:) :) :)

[Tom Sherman]

Mr. Ketron scores again! From the looks of this one seems it could have caused a few tense moments while on the lathe great job Jim.

[John Miliunas]

Ahhh, Jim. Need I remind you? You're at the Creek, fer cryin' out loud! You're apologizing for too many pics???? :eek: :confused: You been into Andy's Moxie or what? :D

Beautiful piece, Jim! I daresay that, in my hands, it would've most likely ended up in way too many pieces, especially when hitting those voids. Great control, beautiful form and finish is A-1, as usual! :) Thanks for sharing! :) :cool:

[Ed Scolforo]

Great job on a nice looking piece of wood!

[Skip Spaulding]

[Jim Becker]

Nice work, Jim. I sure do love hollowforms and cherry just makes them even more nice, if you know what I mean!

[Glenn Hodges]

Jim, super job with this beauty.

[Rich Stewart]

Beautiful piece! I would sure love to see some pictures of the inside of your house. You must have an art museum there.
