    Tulipwood and Blackwood

    Thought I would try a bit taller pedestal on this one for a change. Sure made things interesting!

    Tulipwood and Blackwood. Around 8-1/2" tall, sanded to 800. The HF is finished with Seal-A-Cell and buffified.

    Comments and critiques welcome.

    As I have come to expect from you - another winner! Beautiful HF! Really like how you incorporated elements from your signature finial into the pedestal. Very nice! Great looking finish!

    Beautiful photo as well!

    Just beautiful!! I think the proportions are just right, nice finely done finial without being too delicate that one would be afraid to use it. The colors are striking and the form perfect. Excellent job!!
    If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.
