Re: Walnut Table and Chairs

Impressive! Walnut is my favorite wood, it machines good and takes a good finish.

Re: What's your favorite hand or power tool?

I have many fine hand and power tools, but ever since I got a Powermatic 3520B lathe, it has been my favorite. My other tools support the lathe turning now! It's addictive.

Absolutely gorgeous! Your wood selections blend together for a very nice look. You must have the 'feel' for turning that I'm still trying to find! I've done some segmented turnings and know what you mean by a 6 month project. My turnings are around the 200 piece mark, so you inspire me to attempt more challenging projects. Nice job!

Re: My 1st Stave

Nice job! I've done a few stave turnings and find that staves are a little difficult to cut and fit, but the visual effect is worth it.

Re: segmented vase

Beautiful piece. What kind of glue did you use on the Ipe?

Re: Chess Table, Chairs & Chess Pieces

WOW...very impressive. I especially like the visual effect of the walnut-maple in the table halves. The chess pieces intrigue me, and the inlays look great. I did a chess table a few months ago, and seeing your table makes me want to do another one. I love playing chess too. Nice work Dennis.
