vessel

Here a question for the hollow vessel experts and any body else I guess as well Until recently I have nearly always turned larger vessels ie 1-14"+ in dia with fairly wide mouths, of which allows me good access for sanding. But now I have embarked on smaller dias around 4-6" with much...

All made from the same tree but not the same log section. From the left rear; 10" wide x 7" high, oiled and buffed with carnauba wax. 8" wide x 10" high, oiled and buffed with carnauba wax. 6.5" wide x 10" high, no oil, finished with lacquer. From left...

This is my first post on the AAW website. I post regularly on WOW and I thought I would share my work here too. This wood came from a tree that was cut down in a friends yard and saved for me. At first, I thought it might have been a Butternut tree due to the large amount of sapwood in the...

It rained Saturday for a while, something we have not seen much of this year. I took advantage of the time to escape from chores and return a roughed Butternut blank I had on the shelf. I do like turning Butternut; the cobweb figure so vivid in Bill Neddows bowls gives illusions of carving and a...

This study was turned twice, carved, textured and colored by brush with acrylics. Colors were layered and sanded back to achieve what you see. The inside was dyed with black India ink. A clear coat was sprayed over everything. After a couple days it was lightly buffed with soft wax. The size...

This summer the projects with the building and landscaping are without end. I want to keep practicing on the hollowing techniques this summer when possible so when winter arrives I havent forgotten how to do it. I had a chance when weather would not permit outside work to finish this little...

This is about how something done in all the wrong order can still turn out OK. 8" H x 5.5" D. Started with the form, and near the end I had a design opportunity, so I added the walnut collar. Didn't care for how plain the piece was, so I tried some pyrography to improve it. Luckily...

I want to post this Redwood burl vessel; it is from a blank I received from Sean Troy a few years ago. Thanks Troy! Coming from the desert the blank had a few checks; I left these natural and did not try to disguise them. It is 5x3.75, walls thickness is 3/32, the opening is 11/16, oil finish...

I decided to gather up some scraps I'd been saving and go at them. They made good gifts during the holidays. The sizes range from the 2-1/2" x 1-1/2" to 3-1/2" x 6". The woods are Red Oak, Aromatic Cedar, Cocobolo, Olive, Holly, Red Mallee and the one in the front right is...

This wood is Sugar Maple. The size is 9" dia x 6.5" tall. It's finished with my oil mix and buffed with tripoli and carnauba wax.

This pretty wood comes from the prunings of a large old Sugar Maple tree covered with burls. This piece is 7" dia x 10" tall and was turned from green wood. The piece tells the story of this tree from the heartwood to bark. It's finished with my oil mix and buffed with tripoli and...
