Great forms!!

When turning this small, how thick are your walls? Do you allow them to stay pretty thick to give the piece a little weight? Or do you scale the whole thing down?

WOW! great group!

Could you take some singles of the 2 african blackwood ones, they look really really cool.

Thank you for your comments

the wall thickness is around 1/8" to 3 1/16"- just like on my larger forms I treat the wood as if it is all unseasoned so I keep the wall thickness thin and even



here's a pic of them together, they need a few more coats of oil yet as I prefer blackwood to have a satin/gloss finish

Those are great little turnings! Like the wonderful shapes and the beautiful grains especially with the blackwood and the spalted beech. Great work!
