Bloodwood lidded hollow form

[Travis Stinson]

Bloodwood HF with Blackwood pedestal, collar and finial. 10" tall w/ finial by 3 1/2" diameter. These finials can be nerve-wracking, the thin section is 3/32" thick! Buffed Seal-a-cell finish.

Absolutely beautiful.

Very elegant finial. I like the way you tied the lid and pedestal in together with the same flow element. Nice touch!

Keep practicing, Travis. One day you'll get the hang of this. :D

[Glenn Hodges]

Travis this is absolutely beautiful, I am just fortunate to see it.

[Frank Kobilsek]

Travis,
Another great piece. The base is something new for you and I like it.

Where do you get your materials? Your postings recently have drifted away from domestic woods.

[Ed Scolforo]

Sheer elegance!!

[Travis Stinson]

Neal, maybe so. I'll keep practicing. ;)
Frank, I check eBay every now and then for something that might catch my eye, since the nearest hardwood retailer that carries any exotics is over an hr. away.
Thanks again everyone.

[Tom Sherman]

Travis words fail me to be able to describe this one, absolutely fabulous. I don't think you have to worry about getting the hang of it, you're rewriting the book with each new post. Awsome.

[Mike Vickery]

The attention to detail and design is fantastic. All the pieces fit together with a purpose. Impressive...

WOW! That's awesome Travis. Those are 2 of my favorite woods. I just wish blackwood wasn't so darn expensive.

[Joe Melton]

I showed this one to my wife, and she said "Why don't you make something like that?" Uh huh.
The breadth of your work is as wonderful as the depth.
