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

    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.

    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.

    Very nice.. experimenting can be both exciting and frustrating. This one is excellent.
