Black Ash Burl and coathanger

[Mike Gibson]

Here is my latest piece made from Black Ash Burl and a coat hanger, approx. 7” wide. Finished with an acrylic spray and lightly buffed.
Would love to hear your comments. Mike

Hello Mike, What a fantastic piece my wife loved it your skill certainly shows through in your work, was the spout carved and glued on and what was the wall thickness of the vessel. ;)Regards John

Oooh My...  Mike yet another of your stunning Tea Pots, a beauty in form, finish and detail, the handle works well, nice balance, your trade mark to a 'T'    ..   will it be one for SWAT ...    .. (Enjoy your time there)   Soo love this one, a joy to see.    Keep them coming.

Cheers.  David

Well you've certainly captured the 'essence' of a tea-pot and I've never seen a coat-hanger look better - well done.

[Mike Gibson]

Thank you all for your comments they really are appreciated.
David, We plan to show this at SWAT in the instant gallery, believe it or not you can put up to 7 pieces in.
John, The thickness on this piece is 1/4" as most of my teapots are, as l use a dowel to attach the spout and handles to the pot. l did make a couple with the spout in one but did not enjoy making them.

Hi Mike
Wonderful piece both form and timber. Your country certainly won the raffle when it comes to timber selection, and you have far superior coat hangers to the ones I use!!!!!
