Teardrop Box - Steven Kennard Design

I was lucky enough to take a class with Steve Kennard last November. Spent lots of time making the teardrop boxes here. The one at right is one of his (thanks Steve!) and the middle and left are mine. Blackwood and Spalted Tamarind. Critique is always welcome, and thanks for looking.

Thanks Pete. I was very lucky indeed. Not only is he a great turner, but patient and great fun to spend time with. Plus, he spent about a decade finishing pianos so I learned some great lessons there also.

Hey Bill and Doug thank you so much. Got to give props to Steve, because he really made it feel easy to do.. And to tell you the truth that would is just a joy to turn

Yes, it was great. Nice and cool in November in Nova Scotia. 4 days in the shop morning to evening. Steve is a very interesting and gracious guy with a great sense of humor.
