This is my favorite so far, and I love blue, so maybe thats why I’m leaning that way. What a beautiful grain and finish you’ve got going here. This reminds me of an elongated earth scene. Way to go Joe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful! Very interesting markings, they look like continents on an elongated globe.

I have been watching your work on these Joe. I think you should consider marketing your turnings. Start out small with some local gift or concession stores. Your turnings are excellent and you might find that you could make a living at it in a few years if you start putting your stuff out there for the public to see. Beautiful work man.

the way the color looks in every picture makes me wanna say this is your best piece yet, but I know it will only get better. It seems like you’ve pretty much mastered these forms and their finish, would love to see some other styles/shapes….i love all your carved bowls too, can’t wait too try that out

Spectacular wood, and the color you gave it is perfect. It reminds me of turquoise.
