New Spheres-*PICS*

I realize it has been a l.oooooonnnggg time since I posted, but what with shows and other venues for sales, my demo schedule, and some minor health issues related to the stupid cancer, I just haven't had time. However, 2016 resolutions incude making time to photograph and post to WC.

So, here are 3 pics of 2 new spheres ... harlequins again. These seem to be very popular with customers. In the first one I used a 3 point tool to create the grooves. In the second, I used a D-Way beading tool. Colors are India inks. The next set will use acrylics.

C&C welcomed.

I can see why customers would like them. I do.

Hi Dick,

The coloring of wood pieces generally doesn't do all that much for me but I think your #2 and #3 pictures are pretty cool and very well done. Maybe it's the D-Way beaders maybe not but one can certainly see some mad skills in play.

Your old Marvin Soltzfus rig arrived safely and I put an extra Oneway clamp I had on it. Got it dialed in and ready to go except for the time necessary to fill up a sweet little 11" catalpa bowl with some cherry, maple and walnut spheres.

Not sure if I should thank you or curse you for getting me into this little sub-vortex but I looking forward to the challenge that these spheres present.

well, glad to hear it all arrived okay. Sorry to hear of your new addiction ... but I *did* warn you! Enjoy the black hole of sphere turning (and decorating) that resides inside the original black hole of woo turning!!!!
