NE Walnut HF

[Paul Andrews]

This is one of the pieces that I turned earlier this summer while attending Travis Stinson's class. Finally able to get the time to finish it this week. Measures 6" tall by 8" wide, finished with antique oil.

That's a really kewel piece, Paul...I really love how you retained even the moss on the bark edge. Outstanding!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Paul....that's a unique and beautiful piece! Looks like your football had a blowout! :eek: Very unique...very beautiful!:)

[Steve Schlumpf]

Outstanding hollow form Paul! Love the contrasting colors, form, finish and all the bark and moss! Seriously nice work!

[Glenn Hodges]

Paul that is a beauty. I like the form and the contrasting wood.

[Travis Stinson]

That finished up beautifully Paul! I've been anxiously awaiting seeing it posted. Definitely puts a smile on my face. :)

[Curt Fuller]

Wow, that's a beauty! It most definitely has some Stinson influence in it too. Very nice!

[Ernie Nyvall]

Wow Paul, that looks great! Looks like you learned a lot form Travis. Very nice job.

[Ron Coleman]

Very nice piece Paul. I know the piece is round but the sap wood gives it an oblong look, an interesting effect.

Was this piece turned green?

This is now on my list of one of my favorite pieces. Abolutely wonderful, gorgeous, beautiful piece. I love the contrasting colors of the sap and heartwoods. The opening is a perfect size for the piece. Nice job, now send it to me!!!!!!

[Mike Vickery]

Paul that is a beautiful piece you have their.

[George Guadiane]

Outstanding orientation. That could have been just another beautiful piece of walnut, you made it very special.

[Ed Scolforo]

Beautiful piece, Paul. When I first looked, it reminded me of a bust sculpture, the darker wood being the arms and the opening being a neckline. Even the shadow of the opening looks like a profile of a woman! Nicely done!

[John Timberlake]

Cool looking vessel. You did a great job of using the grain of the wood.

[Paul Andrews]

Thanks to all for the generous comments. Ron, the piece was rough turned and hollowed the same day as the tree was felled. I let it dry for two months and finished.

[Paul Engle]
