Thars a hole in my vase

[Dalboy]

Turned this from Yew good job I wear a full face visor as there were bits flying out all over the place.

 

[Woody]

Wow Derek that is one very nice vase I am envious of you having turned such a masterpiece why cant I find bits of wood like that LOL

 

[PhillH]

You need to get up to Neils then Woody, as Derek said on the other thread, all Neils wood has bloody holes in it

Seriously though that is an awesome piece of turning, I thought I was twitching with the olive bowl, it has nothing on that.

How the hell do you turn something like that ?

Duck Tape ?

[Grump]

Woooh Hooo Like Woody says, a masterpiece.
Absolutely stunning.

Blooming heck.. Or words to that effect.. I would have had to go the the little boys room a few times doing that.. Really stunning and well turned.

I bet you were holding your breath a few times doing that..

 

[Terry]

Stunning form on this one Derek. A beautiful vase!!!!

 

[Kardav]

We'll done for holding your nerve Derek, absolutely gobsmacking my friend.

 

[paulm]

That is one cracking piece of work and good on you for having the foresight to see what the wood was possible of, I think I would have given up with it.

 

[brody2123]

[Jim]

[bassethound]

[Paul]

Just... Sorry words fail. Ah got it. You sir have a fine eye, and big balls.

 

[Goulss]

First of all thank you all for the comments on my work.

Just to say that none of what I have produced is beyond anyone's ability on this forum you all produce some great pieces of work. They are all simple projects and easy to turn, the vase is probably easier to turn than a fully enclosed hollow form as you can easily see the tool inside the piece through the natural inclusion. I did take a small precaution of wrapping a piece of masking tape around the neck area and found this sufficient to prevent any break out.

The main problem is finding that right piece of wood so go out and play and have fun, don't forget to turn safe:wink:

I'm in full agreement with you Derek as I always say its just having the confidence to try

Derek there might be as you call it a hole in your vase but no flies on the turner mate that is superb in every way I would think a pucker factor of 9/10. Such a glorious colour indeed exceptional colour and grain mate full marks. Peter.

But just between you and me......
I don't think it is going to hold water
