Wow Chris! Somebody must have jumped up and said "You gonna post or turn?"...........we know which choice you made!

Very, very well done sir! Quite a nice variety of projects too! Very well done!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful Chris. Those are some nice looking projects. I am partial to the cherry HF.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Impressive work Chris! Quite the variety and all are very nice but the poplar vase really grabs my attention! Love the form, the size, color and the finish! Hope to see more of your work soon!

Chris, you got skills!!!!! Those are absolutly incredible. You should post as often as possible. I now have more to add to my favorites list. Nice choice of colors, shapes, choices of wood and overall creativity. :) "A"+ in my book.
