More pots and lidded forms

[mark sanger]

Hi all

Been a while again since I posted and been in the forum. Sorry but I have been chasing my tail with stuff. just sat down at the end of the day with a nice cold pint so thought I would have a look around and post some I finished the other day.

I have tweaked the form a little from the last lot. After George W gave me a hard time :lol; :lol: The largest is 100mm dia x 140 high, spalted beech, yew, Tulip wood, with Bubinga and anjan finials.

The lidded form is 200mm dia x 240 high.

you may have seen them already. So soz if you have

They all look crisp and well proportioned to me Mark, good job the beer just got to you whilst posting and not before turning. :lol:

Mark, you have developed a distinctive style that poitively shreaks your name. I have not seen anyone else doing anything in this style at all and like many others such as Cindy Dozdha, Binh Pho etc it is fast becoming a recognised trademark. The only thing I would suggest ( If I have the nerve) is that you try the same format / design with a plain, diffeent wood for the base such as ebony, rosewood etc. Maybe you have and it didn't work. What you do (IMHO) is fantastic and really beautiful but I would like to see a variation in couloring of the base

Hi Chas

Thank you for your comments. Yes the proportions may not have been as they are other wise. :lol: :lol:

Hi Pete

It is very kind of you to mention my work in the same sentences as that of Bihn Pho and Cindy Drozda, but I am certainly not in the same league.

Please do suggest things. I am always looking for different ideas and perspectives .

I tend to only use native timbers the the main bodies of my work. They certainly would look nice in some of the more exotic timbers, but I only now use very small amounts of exotics for personal/environmental reasons. I have no issue with others wanting to but I decided upon this route some years ago.

Some of the galleries I sell in will not accept exotic timbers as their customers do not like them due again to the perceived environmental concrens. But they will accept a small use of them in the lids.

Thank you very much for your comments.

Hi Mark

Some more very typical "Mark Sanger" forms, as Pete says they are becoming a class of their own. I think the colour tones of the reddish brown finials go very well with the tones in the bodies, even more than the black finials IMHO :wink:

A really nice group.

Hi Johnny

Thank you for your comments. I like the larger one best too. The smaller ones are made from left overs and have the front face parted off and re-inserted back into a shoulder. It is a good way of getting using up odds and sods.


Hi Mike

Thank you for your comments.

I decided to start complimenting the colours of the base forms with lighter finials. It is interesting that you have noticed this as it was my exact intention. Some people like a more subtle colour so this way I can make both and perhaps/hopefully cater for a few more tastes.

Thank you both again.
