Wow! How striking is that? Great piece Jo, very imposing and it just oozes quality as well as mystery. If I think about for long enough, I just might work out how you turned it.....but it might take quite a while.

Love it!  Les

Jo, for technical merit you've excelled again, I'd take it as being turned as a whole piece .. then not sure with the sphere's grain match: then from the image it wouldn't appear to be joined in anyway.

The stand in the piece which has been removed.

Watching this object !!! need a little longer there, as these are my thoughts so far.

Cheers on a wonerful piece.

Hi all,
thanks Les and David.
It's turned as one piece and is no turning problem.
As a little help: The title "Le dernier cri" means from my side the last cry of this world we rape. The part we raped
you can see as foot, on them we trample again and again.
But also think of the fashion. There "Le dernier cri" is the newest fashion, my newest work.

Cheers Jo

Jo,

This is wonderful, I'm not sure we can understand the title as you explain it, it probably needs a a very Germanic feeling to understand it. But it certainly pulls at us in our shared feeling for wooden art.

If there is one thing I've noticed from the postings you've put up for us over the years. is that you always manage to make something look so amazing and obvious when looked at retrospectively.

But you do it with such beautiful simplistic cuts and easily flowing lines that makes us ask why it's not be thought of or done before.

You don't use decoration, you don't use many pieces on a multiple part turning but your work stands up there with those that do, and stands as at least an equal.
Oh Lord, Lead me not into temptation…

...Oh who am I kidding, follow me, I know a shortcut!

Hi all,
thanks Tony and Diane, thanks Francesco.
Thanks dr4g0nfly. I think I need to explain "Le dernier cri". It probably dates from the time when our country was occupied after the war of France. At this time many terms was used in French, which we use today. This is also in "Le dernier cri" that way. In the fashion at that time still very Paris was imitated. And the latest fashion was always referred to as "Le dernier cri". For me, it is therefore also a nice alternative name for my "newest object". So the title ist ambiguous.

Always love your work Jo, this is no exception.  Did you carve the last open ring to the inner so as to leave the two supports?
Real cool result  8)

Hi,
yes Peteg, I carved the open ring. It is also possible to mill it.
Thanks all.
