Ash HF

[Curt Fuller]

Turned from a Y in an Ash branch. 7" x 7" with deft lacquer finish. Lots of bug holes, bark, and one side missing.

That is a beauty Curt. Did that thing have a pucker factor like my maple burl did? Very well done.

Hey Curt,
Your piece is missing something but I can't quite put my finger on it. Oh that's it...the side is missing!!!

That's a real beauty there!

What system are you using for hollowing? Did you have the cutter rotated to shear cut rather than scrape?

Thanks,
Dick

Well that's one way to keep tabs on your wall thickness. :D
I get puckers just thinking about watching someone do that. Well done.

[Joseph Peacock]

WOW!!!! That is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!;) :cool:

[Brian Brown]

Nice piece Curt, a real beauty! I wouldn't have the guts to try something like this. How do you keep the block balanced with one side missing?

That's some funky stuff there Curt! Don't think I would've had the guts, or the imagination. Fine looking piece!

[Tom Sherman]

Very nice Curt. A lot going on with that piece.

[Shane Nyvall]

That is very good looking Curt. Great job.

[Ernie Nyvall]

Are you still vibrating?:D Nice one Curt.

[Bill Wyko]

WOW that's a real beauty. I probably would have blown that into little tiny pieces. You've got some top notch skills.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

That is one of the gnarliest and prettiest I've seen! Nicely done Curt!
