>Hi Keith,

Thanks!! I haven't been able to post here much lately. Life keep getting in the way :) The shop is undergoing a major re-do, The web site hasn't been changed since before the Flintstones, and I am being tempted by an offer of a real job. :)

But your work is an inspiration to me, I do not do the same type of work, but I can always tell a talented artist when I see the pieces you post.

Thanks,

Dave

Nice work Dave!

>Beautiful work, Dave. I'd re-touch the color balance a bit to lower the green level, but a very nice job on the turning.

>Very nice form Dave, and what a great piece of wood. I think that fiddleback is my favorite. I used to get offcuts, etc. from a a guy that sold musical instrument wood, and most of that was fiddleback.

>Hi Ron,

Nope, no dye on this one. Just the way it came from the tree. I sure wish I had been able to get the whole tree.

Thanks,

>Hi Brad,

Thanks, I didn't realize how green it looked when I posted it. John Lucas also gave me some advise on the same thing. I was able to correct it somewhat with my photo editing program.

I also found a little more info on color balance in the manual that came with my new camera . Gee who would think of reading the manual. :)

Thanks,

Dave

Thanks everyone

>Thanks to everyone that posted their comments, or took a look. It's always great to find a nice piece of wood like this. It's even better if it gets to completion without blowing it up. :)

Not that I ever do that :)

Thanks again,

Dave
