There are some very nice effects here but too many of them.
Regards George
Many thanks for the comments George, much appreciated as usual. Yes, perhaps I have gone over the top (in a few peoples eyes) on this one.
It's good to see so much discussion on this one, and everyone is entitled to they're opinion as you know as we all like different things.
It certainly looks like there is a big difference in tastes either side of the continent by all the remarks.
A big thank you to everyone else who has commented no matter whether you like it or not.
This is a piece of wood with very little, or no character to it what so ever hence the amount of colour I have added.You can actually see about the only bit of grain in the blue but doesn't show well on the photo.
Now whether you like the bare wood( yes I do 😊) effect or any embellishment, whether it be colour,carving or anything else the whole part(I think) of woodturning is using the wood as your main canvas for a finished result whatever that may involve.
So once again, many thanks for all the comments and nice to see so much discussion on this. Yes this may be to busy for some but there are also many who like it, me included. The Mai point is that I had fun doing it and trying out a few ideas. A great master is not made over night and has several failures, even when established that some will like and some won't. I keep trying and as a hobby turner I enjoy all the good and the bad on my way up the ladder of success.
Best regards
Gary
