Should be fun - Help name this please (old work)

Mike Schwing from Md.

>This piece was shown here several months ago. It was purchased by a collector and will be on display in a museum in Honk Kong along with works from many other turners (you know a few of them from here).

The collector keeps asking me to come up with a name for the piece but I'm stumped. I figured we could have some fun with it. Suggestions please...(thanks)

A World Without

Ozone [Holes] (kinda depressing though)

and then something in my likes to come up with random things that are non-sensical:

Snorkel. (I have no idea why)

>This is great! Thanks everybody. How to choose!

Ron, I'll certainly tell you more about it when I know more. I know the collector is assembling quite a collection based on some of the things he has pointed me to, and he will be taking them on a tour throughout China. Sometime after that he says they'll be permanently in a Hong Kong museum but he is concerned about security as people don't have the same sort of repect for museum objects that they do elsewhere.

There are a couple of other turners here on WC who are involved, maybe they'll chime in if they have anything more.

>Ya know, the voids in this piece vaguely resemble continental shapes, the swirling burl reminiscent of the ocean's currents.

Maybe some sort of worldly theme is in order. Something like "Continental Drift".

In this case, the "continents" are missing, all there are are the oceans. Makes me think that this piece emphasises the importance of the waters in relation to dry land. How about "Lost Without Sea"?

That's about as profound as my limited intellect will allow me to go.

Poke fun if ya like.

>If the devil dreamed of turning on a Powermatic 3520 useing a Jamieson Hollowing System.

This is of course plagerisum of a title to a Dan Crary song.

"If the Devil Dreamed About Playing Flamenco With a Flatpick"

I always like that song.

Good Luck
