My Recent Work!

[Rick.45cal]

These days I don't make many posts here, I've been "throwing" myself into my Art and I like to share my work with you guys, as some of you know. I've developed a "signature" wood dyeing technique over the summer. The effect generated is based purely on the stucture of the wood itself. This creates the illusion of a 3 dimensional surface, the effect is profound in person and the photo doesn't do the piece justice. (It emulates blown glass, and the light reflects from inside the piece) This is art/science/creative thinking all coalescing. I hope you enjoy my friends.

Just beautiful Rick, outstanding

 

[CaptSteve]

Awesome Rick

 

[RippleInStillWater]

Your creations are always cool, Rick, and this is even better....

 

[Torqueguy]

Thats outstanding. It enhances the grain instead of covering it up

 

[Rick.45cal]

Thanks everyone, I knew you guys would appreciate it! My favorite part of what I do is people's reactions to it.

Yes Torque, the goal was to merely highlight the wood, and what makes wood beautiful

If you have a web gallery, could you PM the website to me? That is outstanding.

That is amazing! Is it possible to make a drip tip like that? Or maybe a body cover for the GGTS? If you do, then please feel free to take my money.

 

[Ezkill]

I'd vape that!

 

[kickitback]

Very nice indeed.

Thanks everyone. At this point I don't have a website, I am currently in the process of setting one up. I've purchased a URL but haven't had a moment to work on it yet. I'm always available for commissioned work and just a PM away.

I've thought about drip tips, though I don't know how well they would hold up, my suspicion is they wouldn't last very long or would swell up and be useless.

 

[MrKrinkle]

Thats friggen awesome dude...

 

[Rick.45cal]

Thank you Mr.Krinkle! Thank you! (I've been busy )

That is totally awesome! As soon as i read that thats wood, man all the things you could do with that.

How many of use would buy a APV stand with your technique and artistry. A box mod definately cooler than anything I've seen. Those are just two ideas for PV's. Wood can be used for so much and it has, but seeing what your able to accomplish is amazing.

 

[Rick.45cal]

I'll leave the PV making up to Imeo... though I do have some ideas for "other" things... Y'all need to stop before I make something...

[Karlos]

How many mls of Boba's does that hold?

That is truly spectacular!!!

Vaporologist, Thank you! I'm not sure any juice will fit in it, the finial (decorative doo-dad on top) continues through the lid and into the inside.
