Walnut HF

[Travis Stinson]

Mark Cothren gave me this nice big chunk of Walnut in April (Thanks again Mark ;) ).

I finished turning it this weekend. A little slipup while finishing inside the opening forced me to open it up a bit more and turn a separate Walnut collar for it that I dyed black :mad: . Buffed Antique oil finish,
10" diameter by 10" tall.

When I first read this thread I didn't see who the poster was,, my first thought "that's good enough to be from Travis...." I guess I was right :D

Cool..

Beautiful work as usual Travis! Great form & finsh! I like the simple detail work around the opening in the collar! Very nice!

[Jim Becker]

Some great character in that one, Travis! Awesome as always!

(If you have any scraps of that blank left, you might try a piece or two that features that sapwood at the top...the ice-cream cone effect!)

[Jeff Moffett]

Beautiful as always. Love it!

I knew before I looked to put a towel over my keyboard Dick.
