Just a bit of a brag

Oh, and sorry about the poor quality of the photo. Operating a camera is something I've never claimed to be able to do well. Maybe I should ask one of the students to make a good photo.

Actually, that's pretty damn impressive all on its own, (despite your photo!)

Great eye, great proportion and I like the action in the design.

No pun intended... here it comes.... sit down....

That one's a keeper!!

And the teacher in me wants to ask, can anyone identify this wood? I know what it is only because I cut it from the log, but it surprised me in the color. JD "JD snipped-for-privacy@wku.edu" The students in 2 of my classes are hosting an annual charity fishing

I hope that goes to auction It is a great looking piece

"JD snipped-for-privacy@wku.edu" be seen at the following link. I turned a simple plate. She made it into

I'd be proud to say I made the "canvas" for that work.

Sadly, we couldn't figure the best way to do the auction. So, we are going campus wide with raffle tickets. Should turn out to be a good bit of money to be donated to the charity. Hopefully. Thanks for the compliments.

I appreciate that George. I thought it was a beautiful piece of wood and was afraid to hand it over to her, not knowing her talent. Luckily, her talent was amazing and the plate looked great when she returned it to me.

Beautiful job. It is proof that the younger generation is NOT going to the dogs. Nor are their teachers.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I agree that the photo needs help. I tried to e-mail you with an offer, but couldn't decypher your address. I think I could punch it up quite a bit with Photoshop, but the format you used is GIFF, and my program refuses to work on it. If you would care to send it to me in JPEG or TIFF, I would be happy to give it a try.

Or send me the platter, and I'll send you a photo .

LOL, I'll box it up and mail it in the morning. uhhh NOT.

Thanks Leo, I could send you some of the original photos, but they are huge files (I know working from the original would be best). I've a couple of students who have volunteered to help me out, but I do appreciate your offer.

I think you should give her more plates.

Old guy

I made her the offer. She's thinking about it.

I totally agree with Leo. This new generation is turning out pretty darn well, in spite of us oldsters. Absolutely stunning work by this young lady. Have you considered selling this piece on line? Or to the members of this group? Tom Weber in Merritt Island, Florida

Tom, he is no "oldster", but were you by any chance the editor of "The Stuart News"?

Arch, I wasn't referring specifically to Leo as being an 'oldster'. It was sorta' of a generic term to include myself and others of my generation. It seems that too many of us often have no tolerance of our youngsters, while probably forgetting some of the antics we reveled in during our own salad days. And no, I was not the editor of the"The Stuart News". In fact, I don't think I've ever even read it! (Sounds like a nice guy though...) Tom Weber in Merritt Island, Florida

Thanks Tom, I know you are aware that Leo is no oldster. He passed that years ago. :) I was referring to a young Tom Weber who was the editor of the paper.

Did you get a texturing tool working? Haven't seen any pictures on ABPW.
