Hello everyone, another piece made today with this I want to remind the Dolomites with its towers and valleys. laburnum finished filler. height 10 cm
advice and criticism thanks.

Just waiting for the snow to melt.
You captured great figuring in that sample of wood.

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

You really have some talent Remulo. Your pieces are original, thought provoking and well executed. That's worthy of a decent art gallery.

 

[Bodrighy]

Love this, great use of the wood and lovely design. definitely a winner.

What a stunning bit of timber, and very nicely turned as well, I agree with Bob, could easily hold its head up in a gallery.

I'm very happy for your comments, I'm not an artist but the wood is my passion and this perhaps helps

 

[Dalboy]

Your passion is showing in this piece, a very well turned piece and the finish is also great what type of wood is it

 

[woodfarmer]

I love the way you used/exploited the timber.

As someone who lives in the Dolomites, I can say it's very good ;-)

How old are you Dalboy ??

 

[gregmcateer]

That's a great piece, R.
I love the way you have followed the grain in the peaks of the mountains.

Very impressive with the peaks echoing away in the foreground. Waiting for the Yeti to appear.

.... Waiting for the Yeti to appear.

It's going to be a long wait, and he's going to be a bit foot sore by the time he gets there I think. :lol: (Himalaya is home base)

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

huh?? A mythical creature has a home?

Yes, but he hasn't been seen there for a long time. Now you know why.

 

[remulo]

thank you all. I hope it will inspire you, it seems that the laburnum is common in England or not? :roll:

I found a small piece here in Italy, however it's proving very very hard to source exotics, and when i do, proving extremely expensive.

Laburnum or "golden rain" has a really nice finish when turned, where do you get yours from?

two weeks ago was held in rovato, near brescia, the national competition of woodturning and a friend of belluno brought two trunks that I got.
