DanYo · Dec 31, 2008

Very nice, the color blends are beautiful. another very good piece.

Looks beautiful, like its on fire. Very cool Joe. I'd be interested in how to air brush also. Man you have a lot of different skills, no wonder you am so dang good. Oh shucks that's right shouldn't be flattering, mmm….. let's see. Nope can't see anything wrong. Wish I could do that good. LOL. Thats it you're too damn good. Stop it.

just wondering, what's your day job? If it's not this (which i don't think it is, you seem like a well rounded logical fellow, and as we know anyone trying to go into this as a business especially these days has gotta be crazy =)) I'm surprised by how quickly you get through these, especially with all the different layers you're doing….your turnings are as professional as they come, they sing to my eyes every time i take a quick glance at the new projects…its a real inspiration cuz every piece just keeps getting better and better!

Looks like lava, a lava vase. Very nice. I like the color combinations and the subtle blending.

Thats great Joe, I think the color is beautiful, and your start with the air brush is on a good note. I wonder what your using for an airbrush? I have an Iwata brand that will produce down to a human hair and up to 1/2 inch wide. But for this type of work a Pasche VL would be better, both are dual action airbrushes. I notice your getting a lot of questions in the other comments about it. I want to send you a picture of a ceramic vase I have, I think it would give you some ideas to try that you'll like. Talk with you soon, great job!!!!

Dan, I ended up purchasing the Paasche VL. It is a fairly basic set complete with 3 needles and tips, color cup, 2 color jars, a holder, and the air hose. Iwata make some great airbrushes too. I picked mine up from Dick Blick while visiting family last weekend.

Chris, my day job is sales and marketing for a marketing innovations and printing company. Turning and finishing just seam to come quickly and naturally to me. This piece took about 3-4 hours from start to finish.

Once again a very impressive turning.

Joe, this is another gorgeous piece. I remain amazed at your level of expertise and the different styles that you are able to accomplish given the relatively short time that you have been turning.

Woodhacker · Jan 1, 2009

Very, very cool Joe! Another whole new dimension. Simply beautiful. Like Scott, I continue to be amazed at how quickly your turning has developed. You have a real gift.

Thanks for posting this piece.

Very nice, like burnished leather.

Very nice, and elegant. Turning is the only forte of woodworking that I have never delved into. One of these years I will break down and purchase a lathe to try it out. Beautiful stuff.

What can I say that hasn't been said? Except, I would have named it "Sunrise".

DanYo · Jan 1, 2009

cherry sunburst is what it looks like to me !

Grumpy · Jan 1, 2009

Very interesting finish Joe, Great shape.

trifern · Jan 1, 2009

Thanks for all the kind remarks, I appreciate them all. Although this is not one of my better pieces, I see some great potential with airbrushing aniline dyes.
