Fantastic execution! I love the wood and how it was exhibited. :)

[Patrick Taylor]

Oh, and I LOVE the hole and the collar on the HF. Really solid work!

[Gary Herrmann]

Nice shape on the hollow form, and you're right about the sapwood on it.

[Doug M Jones]

I like bowl #1, not sure I like the burned rim but it's growing on me. The hollowform is superb. Great work.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Mark those are some beauties. Love the walnut. Nice job.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Love the simple form for bowl #1. Still not sure about the confetti lamp but agree that it is pretty wood. The footed bowl grabbed my attention with it's classic form and burned highlights! Absolutely love everything about the hollow form! Beautiful form, wood and love the detail work on the collar! Great work Mark! Thanks for posting!

All very lovely pieces! Black walnut is such a rich wood to work with, whether turning or doing, umm...flat work...especially when it's not been steamed. There is so much wonderful color in this wood!

[Nancy Laird]

Mark, these pieces sure are pretty - so much more color and grain than the pieces we have tried. What's your secret?? I like the HF very much, but I do like the confetti lamp--I don't think it's ugly at all. And that small bowl looks just the right size for a serving of ice cream!! (Where's Andy??)

[Benjamin Dahl]

All are excellent!

[Ed Scolforo]

Beautiful pieces, Mark. I especially like the hollow form.

[Keith Burns]

Great stuff Mark (except for the lamp) !! As big a fan as I am of HF's and as good as this one is, the footed bowl is my favorite one of these pieces. Everything with it is just perfect.:) :)

[Doug Collins]

Nice work! I love walnut.

[Curt Fuller]

Those are all beauties Mark. But the footed bowl stands out with the matching burned rim and foot and that tall HF really jumps out with the lighter sapwood.
