The illusion aspect of the piece blows me away. How in the world do you do something like that?
Like someone else said, scratching my head!!!

Jim, most everything has been said, but I just want to, once again, thank you for becoming an active member of Sawmill Creek. You have brought to this forum a level of expertise and artistry that is just not found often in this world. But, more than that, you have brought friendship and a willingness to share - those are rarities, as well. This piece is one of the more beautiful ones you have done IMHO, and just a wonderful work of art.
Hope to spend a few minutes with you over a cup of coffee in St. Paul - maybe that breakfast you mentioned!!

Next time you come to California young man...I fully expect to be humbled into getting details. I can toss my lathe in my truck and head north in 2 shakes of a whatchamacallit. As always...gallery work, suitable only for display!!!
I saw this on display not to long ago, or a similar one...I can only oggle from afar...

Jim, It is an incredible work of art! I have to try some of this syle of turning if I ever get to turn again! Seems like everything else has been taking up my time, but you have reminded me of how wonderful the beading and burning method transforms a simple turning into something esqusite!
Thanks for sharing,
Jeff
To turn or not to turn that is the question: ........Of course the answer is...........TURN ,TURN,TURN!!!!

Jim, I'm like the others that can't come up with the right words to express how incredible your work is. Now after reading Hart's comment, I'm going on one of those google jaunts to see where your inspiration comes from.

To all you Guys & Gals, a big "Thank You" for all the nice postings about this piece. To those of you who like to Google the names of Basket Weavers add the names of Carrie Bethel & Louisa Keyser to your "to do" lists. Think you will find these names very interesting. Thanks again to all for the great compliments.
