    John, there's an old saw about woodturning being the task of taking a block and cutting away everything that isn't a bowl. In this case, you kept taking wood away, and look what was in there! Something very original and quite striking. Good job!

    I love this piece. The photo has been on my computer desktop for months. I've been toying with aniline dyes but my results come nowhere near what you've done. Can you point me toward a reference on what sort of dyes you use and what techniques to apply them? I would be much obliged. Beautiful work.

    Cool piece, John! Really a “lemons to lemonade” transformation. Well done.
    Ha! thank you Jeremiah. There was a few times I had almost thrown that piece into a garbage over the last few years.

    Love this for multiple reasons.

    1. It's an attractive piece.
    2. You working with the piece to build the form.
    3. Saving a mistake or failed project and finding a purpose.

    Gregory
    Thank you very much Gregory… I really enjoyed the process with this. I took my time and would work on it...
