Outstanding George!!!

I see they used the picture on the front page of the dutchessfair.com website!

Sam,

There are plenty of good materials out there like Alan Lacer's videos ("Darkside and Sweetside" and "Son of Skew") but if you're like me then there's only so much that you can learn from...

Wow George, that's a knockout...can't wait to see it in person!

Patrick,

I forgot about the Pencil Adaptors! Thanks for mentioning it. I'm ordering one now.

Jim,

Forget about the threaded rod and morse taper. The donpencil adaptor wont cost you...

I love my Rikon Mini which I got in Dec 06. Never had any trouble with it. When comparing to an older style Jet mini, I'm glad I got the Rikon. I'm not trying to imply that the Jet isn't good...

Bonnie,

I like it! The design looks familiar ;-)

I like that design for slimlines...seems to fit in my hand...

I have the Beall but not the 3 buff mandrel and I haven't for a moment wished that I bought it for reasons echoed above.

One thing I would recommend is that you buy the morse taper (which isn't...

Steve,

The more I read about Waterlox, the more I like it. Now just to find it. I've given up locally and plan on ordering it directly.

You mentioned two types? I was going to go with the...

Steve,

I read a bit more about Waterlox and it looks like an excellent product. One person said that he uses two coats...sanding the second coat with 800-1000 and then uses some Auto Rubbing...

Best wishes on a speedy recovery Ken.

I have a maple Queen Anne stowleaf dining room table that I've stripped, sanded, and stained. The top and leaves will be getting finish. The legs and sides will be painted a semi-gloss black.

Great interview Pat! Nice websites also! Glad to hear there's another knitting/turning couple out there.

Jim,

I'm glad you posted the picture and would love to see more like it from you and others. Getting displayed in a gallery is a goal of mine also. Seeing pictures like this is inspirational. ...

Very nice George...you did that piece of wood justice. I'm sure that's going to be a keeper for you.

That's an excellent tutorial Curtis! Fairly simple process and awesome results. Thank you!

Mike,

I like this one a lot! Nice form and great finish! Apple is my favorite.

Very nice! That is some incredibly 3D looking wood!

Sascha,

I only saw red x's too so I went to your website and found the pictures. WOW! I really like the way that you pierced to follow the grain of the burl!

Jason

Thank you all for the comments!

Philip,

I can't be sure when the wood was actually cut but it was pretty green. It had not been anchorsealed previously.

I've had some good luck turning green cherry. It's gonna move a...

Don,
The experience I gained can't possibly be measured and yes, George is a wonderful teacher...and a great guy all around. We plan on doing it again once the Summer craft shows die down a bit. ...

Awesome Mark! Thanks for sharing. Wish I could have been there...I priceless experience indeed!

Jason

I spent the day turning with George Guadiane and this is the result. This was my first try at a natural edge and I'm thrilled with it. My thinnest piece yet at about 1/8".

About 8" at its...

Gee Curt, don't stop posting these. They get better and better. The proportions are dead-on and the spindlework on the stems are excellent!

I don't think the differences are that dramatic. ...
