I would guess that this isn't your first attempt at woodturning -- is it? Absolutely stunning to say the least.
This meets more than one of the meanings of aspiration -- striving for lofty goals as well as leaving one gasping for air upon seeing your very impressive accomplishment.
Roger,
I can't get over the look and design quality of this piece. I love the light feel and structural balance . Your finishing isn't bad either.
You have mastered your craft. Show us some more. Gary
As others have noted, it's a very beautiful piece, Roger.....
Can you give us a quick explanation of your ebonizing technique please?
thanks......
ooc
Roger,
Nice piece.
My one suggestion is to try different lighting for the photography.
Photo is fine for showing us what you have done.
A better lit photo would show off what you have accomplished for publication, selling, or a show entry
I see reflections of the finial and base And get an illusion that there are three different finishes on the main globe.

uh, grasshopper....i mean Bill
what is the meaning of turning wood? expression of joy
what does it mean when a curve more closely resembles a wall? parallel universes
are more tools the answer to attaining the ultimate state of zen in woodturning?
depends on the moment in time
(I've been hinting to Santa that a Vicmarc 120 is all that separates me from greatness. Even if that isn't the case, it would be nice to test that theory.
