    Walnut ne vase

    This piece measures 6x6'' with an antique oil finish on it. Got to love the color of the walnut. Comments welcome.

    Mike, I love the piece! It has a fluid movement which is complemented by the natural edge, and wonderful form. Well done!!!

    I'm not crazy about the ne opening on this one but the rest of the vessel is great. I love the shape and the mix of sap to heart is wonderful. Very nice finish as well.

    That is a fantastic piece, Mike. I really like the NE collar. The color and finish are great too.

    NICE!:
    Form
    Finish
    Great orientation... Looks like a wave rolling under the sap wood or a cloud rolling in over the heartwood.

    A beauty, Mike!! Great use of the sap on this piece for a wonderful effect. The form and continuous curves are also top-notch!

    Mike that's a knockout! Normally I worry about knuckle busting on NEs but this looks like a finger slicer/dicer!

    Dang, I just keep seeing thing I want to try now! Great looking piece. I absolutely positively, love the top. The sap wood, the opening, it all looks great!!!

    Beautiful Mike..!!!!! Very nice turning. However, I can't say that I'm crazy about the NE opening, but it is different and it's growing on me.
    Thanks & Happy Wood Chips,

    I'd love to see some different perspectives on this. The execution of the NE is unique in my experience. Overall I think it is a great form with well placed contrasts.

    Love it! Maybe when I grow up I can do something like that. Forget it, I don't think growing up will ever happen, but I will still be able to strive toward something like your HF.

    Simply a gorgeous form... it has a lot of nice curves and a lot of movement happening with the grain. There is also some great contrast with the heartwood and sapwood. As I am a fan of natural edges, I really like the mouth... Excellent work!
