Those are some really cool forms!

The last picture shows one that looks like a brain!

Stunning work, George. I especially liked the 2 carved and textured pieces (design and execution).

Good stuff, as always, George! When I get rich and infamous, that one that was so hard to photograph will be mine!!!

George,

Great work mate, you certainly are getting into those miniature turnings, good and proper...!:wink:

There is a lot more there than wood turning, you have used a number of techniques that require lots of patience and know how, off-course proper tools help considerably...!:biggrin:

What do you do will all your finish pieces, mate...???

A good thing about miniature turnings, uses small pieces of wood...!:wink:
A bad thing about miniature turnings, they require sometimes tools that are not readily available for purchase...!:frown:

Keep up the good work...!

Cheers
George

Thankyou for all of your kind comments- i really do appreciate them


Penman1: trust me you dont have to be rich to buy my work

here's a photo of the "brain"

George:the finished work will go to an outlet/gallery- i currently supply three but am hoping to add more soon. your right about the tools for this sort of work- i use homemade silver steel shafts with hss with 5% cobalt tips glued in- they work great and i have sizes that will go thru a 1/4" hole

That is amazing work. Thanks for posting the dimensions as well. I never would have guessed they were so small.
