>Ed,

This is really beautiful....I have a couple of these sitting around and so far am always at a loss as to how to start these. Which side goes up or down.

It really is a beautiful piece. I love the pinks and reds running through it. Looks like flames.

Bravo!

Jennifer

Hello Everybody! I figure I've been hanging around WoodCentral for a few years now so I might as well officially post a Bio. I'm Jennifer and I reside in the heart of the Midwest in Indianapolis. You'll usually find me hanging out on the turning side of WoodCentral, but I check the Main forum too. I started woodworking about 25 years ago mostly interested in flatwork; small furniture and other items to use around the home. Then I discovered the lathe and became obsessed with it. I've been turning for about 23 years now. My love and excitement for turning has taken me into the world of teaching and frequent demonstrating. Lots of experimenting with textures, color, burning over the past several years. I've recently begun dabbling in metal clay work and have started incorporating it in to my turnings too. It's another toolbox full of toys! When I'm not turning, I'm hanging out with the love of my life and most honest critic, my husband Clay. In order to keep the lathe spinning and the lights on I spend the other part of my day at an ABC television station directing the evening newscasts.

>What a beauty! Very nice, very nice! (and I know how hard it is to turn these things) you really have to see the finished product in your head before you even start.

>WOW! Simply gorgeous piece of wood there Ed.

I really like the contrast between the interior and the burl.
