Delerious grain and class in these show genius choices and turning Andy. Seldom ever seen work like this deserves huge recognition. Congratulations on your photography that concentrates on the turnings.

Peter.

Excellent turning on the first one Andy mate but it doesn’t look very functional. The rest are very, very good.

Hi Keith
I would think that most trinket boxes aren't that functional fella, as they are for holding keepsakes, bit of jewellery etc, the clam shell box is 80mm diameter x 50mm tall, suppose it could be used as a ring box mate, thanks for the comments fella
all the best
Andy

They all look great. What is the vase made from in the last picture and where do you get this amazing looking wood?

Hi Paul
Thanks for the comments, the vase is from a piece of sweet chestnut burr that came from a mate Jon Dempsey, if you would like his details drop me a PM fella
cheers

From first to last I keep coming back to see them. The first one is a stunner and from there to the beautiful lidded boxes and the piec of no resistance that magic fullsome grained Vase.(Breathtaking).
