[Christopher K. Hartley]

Adam, Great work Love those bowls!!:)

[Bernie Weishapl]

Adam those are some beauties. I like the form and finish. Nice job.

[Mark Pruitt]

Excellent work Adam! BTW your thread title got my curiosity up; I was expecting a story about you and the LOYL using your new lathe.:p

[JOHN VITOSKY]

I reaslly like the platter its beautiful. Is the top rim textured then blackened? What are using to blacken the rim?

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Very nice pieces Adam! Well done sir!

[Jonathon Spafford]

Those are awesome pieces! The first one has some amazing grain/figure. The texturing and the dyed rim is really cool! The marblewood bowl is awesome... don't think I have heard of the wood! Amazing color! The pen is also gorgeous! Awesome work there!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Beautiful work Adam! Love the curly maple!

[Adam Howard]

Thanks!

Yeah, the rim was first textured (sorby) then dyed using Transtint jet black. I didn't dilute the dye, used it straight from the bottle. After that, I made an ultra light pass with a gouge to clean up the edge so the color looks clean and sharp.

The maple is local. A rare find.

Beautiful work, Adam.

[Mark Cothren]

All good stuff, but that Maple piece just blows me away!

[Nancy Laird]

That maple piece is just awesome - I love that grain and the look of texture. Is the color on that marblewood accurate in the picture? I've never heard of that before. Pretty pieces.

I can't say I'm fond of the snakewood pen - I think it's the "snake" part of it that gives me the willies - I have an aversion to creepy and crawly things.:eek: :eek: I like the style of the pen, but I wouldn't even be able to pick that one up in my hand...that's how bad I am.

Nice looking wood and a good job turning and finishing. Now that your lathe is used and you need a new one, I'll take it off your hands (and I won't even charge you ;) ) to help you make space for a new one.

[Paul Engle]

Very nice Adam, looks like a home run for sure. Are you sure you are not taking lessons from Travis and whatshisname with the segmented stuff and a bout a half doz hundred other people, nicely executed indeed???:D

[Jim Ketron]

Beautiful work Adam!
I'm glad I got to see the platter at the club the other night, that curl is unbelievable!

[Bill Wyko]

Adam those are all top notch. Especially the curly Maple piece. Looks like you're breaking that thing properly.:)
