George, please tell me how you manage to produce such beautiful stuff and call it messing around, i can mess around in my cabin all week and not do anything remarkably like this stuff.
amazing...... :shock:

 

[richburrow]

Your work is incredible
I wouldn't know where to start with some of that stuff.
Fair play it all looks really nice, I love the look of the burr and the one that looks like it has bulges in it.

I am with Steve on this, most of my messing around ends up in the wood burner pile. :roll:
The oak on is great, don't think I have the patience to do stuff like that.

spalted beech

I'm starting to experiment a bit with shaping off the lathe - how did you achieve this - presumably a combination of carving and lots of sanding?

george, i like the big clump o garlic :lol: :lol: and the rest. very nice. one day i will do something for you to be proud of me for. a bowl for instance.

Great work yet again George .... I like the (what I assume is..) pyrography work.

The 'garlic' is very 'John Jordan' ... normally i'm not taken with his pieces, as much as some others' work ... but your one, I like !

Fantastic work, as always ! :lol: :lol: :lol:

All excellent as usual - the Oak is my favourite, but they're all fab.

thank you for all of your kind comments

Duncan: yep start by carving then move on to some rotary burrs then power sand then finally hand sand- theres about 4 hours work in that piece.

Hi George,
I admire the overall appearance of all the pieces but especially the pyrography work on the oak.
Regards, Ian

Super pieces George, I may never be able to produce anything like that but I'ts beginning to grow on me .Wizer posted some pictures earlier which I queried as true turning but it's the way to go. In my young days if you had to cut a 6" bough two people used a crosscut,now its a tip of a chainsaw,things progess and for the better I hope.
Would love to see how you do that. Love it REgards Boysie.

 

[Paul.J]

Not bad for messing about George :shock:
I just love messing about :lol:

Hi George, I wish my best work was as good as your messing about.

I like them all, the forms have a balance that really appeals to me.

Regards,

fantastic work..hard to chose which one I like the most..but if I had to
it would be the oak and the dark patterning up the base...
A++ standard...
