Joie de vivre |
turning_gal made this one, it is made from a Holly tree with 4 different alcohol dyes applied. The top is made from Florida Eucalyptus with turquoise powder mixed with epoxy to fill some cracking.  Mine is made from the Buckeye tree, if you are from Michigan its Horse Chestnut. The top is made from a piece of Holly turned 98% with a bowl gouge. There is a huge void on the other side but I used shrink wrap to hold the vase together and and stop the chips from flying out. Enjoy  | ||

Beautiful! ______________________________________________ Aeronautics confers beauty and grandeur, combining art and science for those who devote themselves to it. . . . The aeronaut, free in space, sailing in the infinite, loses himself in the immense undulations of nature. He climbs, he rises, he soars, he reigns, he hurtles the proud vault of the azure sky. — Georges Besançon | |||

Oh they are beautiful to see. I never heard of a holly tree. You can see right through the void in the 2nd vase. | |||

Both is those look awesome. I have been turning for about 3 years and absolutely love it. One day I might get to your level but far from that now. | |||

I could watch that stuff on Youtube for hours. And I have... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Me, too! I like the movie where the craftsman turned a huge and ugly bole into a huge and beautiful bowl. | |||
