Another fine piece of turning George. Look forward to your next one and see how it looks:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

George, not quite as dramatic as some of your others, the fully opened cone (it has to be to be dry - I'm assuming) looks great at the top but less interesting lower down.

But I'd like to see the reverse effect as one of your boxes, I thing the cone base would make a really wonderful lid effect.

What is amazing is the colour of your casting resin, that is outstanding.

I think it is nicely made.

Innovative as always George, I really enjoy your work and this is no exception.


Interesting choice of material, what stands out for me is the rich colour and pattern of the cone. I reckon you could play around with this one in all sorts of configurations. :2tsup:
