Needed a hollow form to display flowers in new booth . Had a piece of spaulted magnolia so started on it . The first for me is to turn a hollow form from beginning to parting off on one day....actually 2.5 hours. 

nicely done...

beautiful..

WOW! that is a beauty, Gerald. Real nice.

Nice shape on that Gerald and a beautiful piece of wood. 2.5 hours is impressive, I would have at least a day in something like that. Mostly because I'd have to make several attempts to get a good one!

That is some beautiful wood! Gorgeous vase, too!

Nicely done and the wood spalting adds to its beauty.

Excellent.!   

 

I bet we could make a fortune by spalting wood in a day or two.. I'll get out my erector set and give it a try....

You have to have wood to start with don't you?

Superb, Gerald.

Almost looks like marble, BEAUTIFUL!

Beautiful piece!

Looks kind of like a bird flying hi watching the game.

Might get a better result with a charcoal pencil and give it to me.  I draw squiggly lines like that without trying.  I'm a natural.

Thanks to all for comments

Sorry I missed the IP...

Magnificent piece Gerald.

You certainly enhanced the beauty of that spalting.

Very nice Gerald. Beautiful wood.

Nice to see that I'm not the only one here with an erector set...
