Great looking pieces Ron. I really like the wood. Nice form. Well done.

[Mike A. Smith]

Really nice stuff Ron.

If I was to get picky it looks like the flute on the vase may have some straight in it, but that may just be the picture or the grain of the wood may make it look that way.

Now that wood has some stuff going on, Ron! I think you've done a bang-up job showing it off. If I may ask, just how difficult was it to turn that punky apple?

[Steve Schlumpf]

Nice looking turnings Ron! Beautiful wood and finish!

[Paul Heely]

Nice looking turnings Ron. How do you hold these to turn? Glue block? Tenon and collet? Thanks.

I suspect you used your sharpest tools to turn these beauties. Great Piece of work. You Rock!

Thanks all for the nice comments.

Henry. once I figured out I needed to use a hardner it wasn't bad at all.
I roughed them out used sanding sealer to harden the punky wood, sharpened the tools for the finish cuts. Was able to start sanding at 240 grit. The large piece needed no hardner just sharp tools.

Paul, used a tenon and turned in chuck.

niece work. These little one can get adictive. Once you've done a few you get better at them and you want to have more to group them up.
Really like all 3 of them
Thanks for sharing
