Cherry Hollowform (again...)

David Propst

>

I thought I had posted this image on Monday and today discovered it had not uploaded. I have "previewed' this message several times and it appears to be working. My home ISP (Bellsouth) and WC do not seem to get along very well. I am trying this post from my inlaw's house (same laptop, same wireless router setup, different ISP (Alltel)). If there is no image I apologize for taking up folk's time and bandwidth.

I recently found this piece of cherry cleaning out my shop and thought it was worth a shot. I think it came from Barbara Gill via Phil Wall's Jamboree three years ago which makes it special.

It is about 6" tall. The crack in the rim is from a catch, but I think because of void from the bark inclusion it looks OK. The finish is Lee Valley Polymerized tung oil, lightly Beall buffed with tripoli.

It is the first piece I turned from scratch to finish since getting back to turning.

Best Regards,

David

>Lovely piece. I am surprised that it didn't "blow up" on you with the catch.

>Hi David,

What a great pleasure to see you turning again!

Wow, if this is what a break away from turning will yield I need to leave mine for a awhile. I like the smooth form and the wood has a great deal of character.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work,

take care,

Jim

>Hi David,

Nice piece. Couldn't tell you've been away from the lathe.

It's also nice to see you posting again. Hopefully I'll get over to Asheville one of the days for a club meeting.

>Hi David,

That looks great! I have such a hard time with pieces with large voids in them, I am always so impressed with people who can execute good forms with them. Yours looks great!

Like Jim said, it is wonderful to see you getting time back on the lathe :)

I hope all is going well,

Mike

Hi Barb!

>Hey Barbara,

I have indeed finished school (Bachelors in Nursing). I have been working as a real grown up Nurse since early March in the critical care stepdown unit at NC Baptist Hospital. It is equivalent to a ICU in a smaller hospital. Each day presents many new challenges in learning and organization. I work with great folks and the unit and hospital have a very thorough training program for new grads. I really love it!

Your degree repersents a lot of hard work. But of course you know that. :-)

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.
