Myrtlewood Hollow Vessel...

Wally Dickerman at Green Valley, Az.

>Figured myrtlewood is one of my favorites to turn. This one, with very nice figure was no exception. Ebony collar, a couple of beads, although nicely figured wood needs no help. It's ten inches in diameter and thin walled. It's been sold.

>Wally,

The beads around the collar look great! No to mention the stunning figure of the mrytlewood and overall shape. I can see why this is one of your favorite woods to turn.

See ya,

Dominic

>Great piece, Wally. I always enjoy seeing your work. Gives me something to work toward. The myrtle I've worked with has been bone dry, but has worked well and looks beautiful. Thanks again for sharing with the rest of us.

>Wally,

Nevertheless, it does look great. I was just curious whether the profile view be as I expected it: no foot, the curve keeps going in, maybe even a little stronger curve at the very bottom...

>Ronny, it does have a small foot. Just enough to give the vessel some lift.

>Hi Wally,

Another great form and lovely wood to go with it, I can see why you like turning it. The finish just looks brilliant too and really brings the wood out.
