Unfortunately, I'm not as good with words as Paul :lol: , but I echo his sentiment - that is fantastic, and a natural wood piece as well!! :wink:

Hi G,

This is stunning in both form and natural beauty.

Are you sure you don't do this for a living, if not then I think you should seriously consider it. Your consistantly turning out beautiful work in all aspects of form, finish and design. There has to be a market for your work, there just has to!

Aw the best,

Lee.

Thank you

Hello folks

here's some more yew forms

6" wide 5" tall

not keen on this one- there was a large heart shake that i had to remove early on in shaping the neck section and it just didnt go well after that

pic of the previous form (1.3.11) and the new form

all three

Look pretty good to me even if your not 100%!

Are these turned green, or part turned and dried r fully dried! Never try a hollow form, but would like to soon. But never know which is the best type to turn from!

Good to see you returning to an earlier theme George, do you find that you see things in a different perspective when you have had a break on totally different pieces like Boxes and Pens.

 

[cornucopia]

Thank you for your comments

Philb88-yes they are turned green- as for which way is best? i think its more down to what you get used to.

CHJ-not so much a diffrent perspective, more of a wish to get back to a form i was making before the break and explore/refine it more

 

[Paul.J]

Very nice forms George.
The Yew looks lovely.

Do the move much once finished? As I saw you did so Oak ones before, and that always moves!!

Not exactly a wasted day then George, immaculate finish as usual, I like the sharp edged detail gives a very crisp presentation.

 

[mark sanger]

Hi George

Quality as ever. Love the forms and finish, it is all there.

8" tall x 5" wide

yew form 6" wide x 6" tall

 

[CHJ]

It's my philistine streak, I'm waiting for the mouse to pop his head out of that last one :lol:

 

[mark sanger]

very nice George as usual. Can you make something bad for a change.

Great lines etc,

 

[skeetoids]

Hi George,

The 1st form is a total winner for me, I recently made a solid form with a very similar shape and I find it very pleasing.

I agree with Mark though, do you ever produce anything that's just rubbish! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Keep up the good work mate, always a joy to vew.

Cheers,

Lee.
