Nice little hollow form, I like this one.

>Wally,

This looks pretty damn cool! Almost looks like it was "woven".

But what really amazes me is your constant "push" to try new techniques. Nobody could ever accuse you of "resting on your laurels". Bravo!

See ya around,

Dominic

PS: I really enjoyed your recent article in "Woodturning Design".

>First of all Wally, smoking is bad for your health....but it looks like your style of smoking may okay :)

Can I ask what burning unit you bought?

Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

>Jennifer, I think that I'll call this one "Pimitive Art", because the pyrography is pretty primitive. The next one will be better, I promise.

I have a Detail Master Sabre IV controller. The pen used for this one is a 10-A.

Hey, we've got to keep trying new stuff. I don't know how far I'll go with this, but I won't quit until I see a lot of improvement

>Hi Wally,

That's really nice, great form and I think the burnings really work for it. When I saw it, my first thought was just what Dominic said about trying new things. I think it is so great that someone who already does such beautiful work is willing to try something new and "push the envelope" further out.

I cannot wait to see what's next!
