BIGMOUTH!

This piece was a fun piece to learn a little about how to use the Escoulen No. 1 chuck purchased at the recent AAW symposium in Albuquerque. It was done as a pun towards my own tendency to open my mouth when it should have remained closed. The woods are Mesquite and Hard Maple finished with Prisma Color dye and 6 coats of spray on lacquer. The turned and carved sculpture is 5 x 5 x 8.

Don - You are sooo correct in that assessment. It was fun to give this piece a little character in the final turning and carving. Glad you like it. Thanks.
