Hi Bodger, Nutsnstubs,
Some people in an other forum suggested it might be Sugar Gum Burl, but again they were not sure either.

This shallow bowl has a diameter of some 300mm and is about 50mm deep. I like to believe that it is turned from a slab of myrtle burl but that might not be so.

Hello Mobyturns,
Well, I was thrilled to bits when I found out I my entry had made the front cover of "THEWOWS' forum.
Many thanks for the feedback and regards,
Joe V K.

Hello John,

Does any one know if there are EVS conversion kits available for the Woodfast Wm 305 midi lathe? If they are available, where can they be bought and how much are they.

Well done Scott, the platter looks very elegant. It would be a nice mothers day present but it is fathers day and you can keep it for youself.

You are so lucky for not beeing in the flight path. Flying metal can do much more damage than airborne wood (smal pieces). What brand of chuck is it? I hope not Vickmark as I have 3 of them and 1...

A very nice arrangment. The 3 forms go very well together. I say that because I like to work with driftwood as well.

Hello Mrs Woodpecker,
Well done, the pendant looks stunning on a black T-shirt. As it looks I have to reinvent myself and start making pendants.
Joevan.

Same here and I never will !!

PS: I have helped a friend to make one who had problems using skew.

Hi Tony.
I admire your patience to glue all those bits together. I could not do it as I am still a young man (75) in a hurry.
Well done.

Joevan.

Well done, I like what I see.

Many thanks for looking and for all the positive comments, but on the other hand I would accept negative feedback as well.

I bought a slab of figured Myrtle some years ago at the Working with Wood Show and at long last I cut it up and made 2 shallow bowls from it. The larger one has a diameter of some 400 mm and the...

This ugly lump of huon pine was given to some time ago. There was not one square side on it. After some consideration and some clean-up work I decided to make a clock out of this lump with a simple...

As can be seen in an other thread, "do not turn Lego", stick to wood.

Joevan.

I must agree with all the comments, very well done.

Hello Sturdee,
You are correct of course.

Three friends from long time ago, an Italian, a Greek and Spaniard got together to have dinner in a very nice restaurant Rome. Now you have to guess who paid for the dinner.

Hello Ricardo,
As it seems the chuck is made comercially in Germany and one should be able to get it from a web site called "www.spruehshop.de" . It looks very simular to a chuck Cliff Walsh did...

Very nice work. You put me to shame because I have had thread chasers for a couple of years and have practiced a bit but have never done anything real. The chasers were given to me by a master of...

Many thanks for all the positive feedback but than on the other hand I would like to get some negative feedback as well. Only this way one gets to know where to improve.

In January I was lucky enough to organize a one on one workshop with the Australian guru and master craftman in hollow form design, Paul Barton. Since then I have tried to remember what he taught me...

This is very nice work and very elegant. Something to be proud of. I like it and I admire your skills.

Hello Troy,
A very nice job indeed. Is the whole vase totally hollowed out or just the centre core? I am trying some hollow forms myself at the moment. Not an easy task. Will post some pictures next...

Hello and Co

Many thanks for a most enjoyable and informative day.

Joevan.

Hallo Scott,
A very good effort and an excellent end product and in my book does not need any refinements. As they say "beauty lays in the eye of the beholder".

I allways ask myself the question when turners come up with stunning designs like yours and are able to execute such ideas to the utmost finest details, if they have had at one time or...

Hello Hughie,
I like the hollow form. Very well executed and I am like minded like you, a smaler foot or no foot would most likely look better. But on the other hand if you turn it off you can not...

Hello Bob,
Very nice indeed, one can not go wrong turning any type of burl. but red gum and coolabah are the best.

Hello Cornucopia,
You are a true artist, I admire your work and love it.

Vic Wood, a very humble person indeed. The award is very deserving for such an accomplished wood turner and teacher in the art and craft of wood turning.

Stunning is the word to descibe your effort.and the end result.

Hello Yarrabilly.
Stunning is the word. I would want to get some advise from you in order to produce items of such beauty.

Joevan

Hello Sturdee,
As it seems you are on a roll and nothing can stop you now. Well done, but do not forget, our main aim is "to turn wood", ha ha ha.
Joevan.

Hello Willy,

As it looks you do not do things by half and like things big, a matter of fact very big. I like this one as much as the other one you have done recently.

Joevan

It is amazing one can do when ones mind runs wild. Very well executed work. Something to be proud of.

Joevan.

A stunning effort and a stunning result. Something to be proud of.

Stunning work, very elegant forms, I like all three of them.

BR Joevan

Very good effort. I would be pleased to be able to make hollow forms like that.
