Thread: critique please

Hey, now that's something different.

Sheoak, but what finish?

Dimensions?

etc:

Overall, a good effort.

Have a greenie

Looks good from here,
what is it,
what is the finish &
what are the dimensions?

echo in here?

No critique from me. I would like to see it a bit thinner and more slender, but I imagine that then it'd be a mass of splinters lying scattered around the shed.

The top section looks nicely finished, no rounded edges. Sanded with the lathe stopped? Any hairy moments? Or did you decide to stop turning before things became too white-knuckle? (If so, I salute you! I can rarely bring myself to stop before that dreaded "one last cut..." )

Looks good. A picture showing the whole piece would be good, bit hard to visualize the whole piece from cropped pictures

I like the shape and proportions, very nice. I would like to have seen the edge of the top a bit more thin. That would have given the piece a more delicate appearance. Even so it is a very nice piece, well done.

Not realy my taste but thats the sort of thing you see in the centrefold of wood .

cheers

Impressive piece Holzman.. Like the others said, would have been nice to see the top a lttle thinner but I can imagine it was already getting pretty fragile as it is. I like it.



Hmmmm - or was it too fragile and that is why we only see half of it .

Holzman, I like it! I dont think its too thick, I think its well proportioned and generally a nice form. I like how you have kept a sense of age in the peice by not overworking the timber.

Would look great used on the kitchen table to hold a cake or even as a pot plant stand.

Yep, I definitely want that to be a contender for my centrefold


WOW Factor = + 1000000000!!!

Cheers

I don't usually like that kind of turned stuff but I do on that so I guess that best criticism you can get from me

A very interesting use of what must have been an unusually shaped blank.

I would normally agree that thinner edges would have been the go, however that would probably have required a shallower finish across the top. As it is the piece appears to be a practical shape which could be used without fear of breakage.

Photos of the blank and a description of your chucking/turning method would be interesting.

I like the form, thickness, and shape. The wood is beautiful,
and it would be nice to see the whole piece.
Some dimensions, and species would be good too.

Looks good to me as well. I echo Cliffs comments, other than that a very nice piece
