Another Walnut NE

[Barry Stratton]

Here's another I finished up the other day. Arkysaw walnut about 8" long, 7" at widest, and almost 6" tall. Walls are a fat 3/8".....or skinny 1/2" Finish is AO and Beall buffed (skipped White wheel). I'm not pleased with the foot/bottom, but like the flared top.

Barry I don't see anything not to like, a lot of nice grain the shape is good and the finish is too. Nice job.

[John Hart]

Yeah...I don't see anything wrong with the foot...and the flare is great. What's not to like?:confused: This is one of the nicest NE's I've seen. I mean really! :)

[Mike A. Smith]

What John said. A really nice piece. There's enough going on with grain, NE and form, no need to fancy up the foot.

I like this one also Barry! Beautiful rich walnut color, lots of bark and I also like the finish - it's not so glossy that you lose the details of the wood! Nice work!

That is one nifty piece, Barry.

Very nice piece Barry. Sweeeeet shape and great looking finish.

I really like this too. I've seen this shape a few times and the turner usually calls it a "trumpet" shape. If that helps call it a trumpet and run with it. Nothing to dis-like here.

I like that a lot. Reminds me of a hat.
