First post on the forum - Walnut pot

[Ben Alexander]

I'm new to the forum, have been turning 2 1/2 years. Recently started turning hollow forms. This is one of my first end grain pots. Walnut, 9" x 8" with beautiful grain patterns.

Nice first post Ben! That is a stunning piece of walnut, love the contrast of the sap wood.

Welcome to the group, from a 'neighbor' to the north!!

Nicely done hollow form, and good use of heartwood/sapwood contrast!

Ben, nice HF and I really love the wood. I really enjoy HF. One visit to our gallery asked why do you do HF and my response was, "Because I can."

Welcome aboard and Merry Christmas.

Steve, I agree, I do it because I can! Really enjoy seeing what comes out of the log as it is turned. Thanks. Be

Ben, nice! keep up the good work.

Steve, I would get the "what will hold?" Question once or twice a show. "dreams" was the answer that seemed to close the sales best.

Nice work and great looking wood! What did you use for finish?

 

[Ben Alexander]

Used satin lacquer and buffed it.
