Turning of the Week for October 28, 2024

[Bill Boehme]

When selecting a Turning of the Week, I look for exceptional work that emphasizes the breadth of woodturning. Exceptional photography goes a long way in making my selection when a two-dimensional image depicts a three-dimensional subject. My selection this week, "Woven Seat Stool" by Nino G. Cocchiarella checks all these boxes. I especially love the low-key photography that uses shadows to add depth to a two-dimensional image.

It is beautiful. Great choice Bill and congratulations Nino! A well deserved honor for sure!

 

[Nino G. Cocchiarella]

What the chuck! No way... You guys realize that I cheated. I was a professional photographer for 40 before "turning" to something more tangible. So I have a slight advantage in that respect - but wow! Thanks for the honor!

 

[Mike Drake]

Yep, downloaded that photo for future reference. Quite Nice!

 

[Larry Copas]

Excellent choice for "Turning of the Week". I too was impressed by the stool and the photography. Nino's stool has inspired me to learn Danish cord and I'm actively heading in that direction. Thank you for sharing Nino!
