Well it is finished. I used some of the suggestions that were made here and came up with the following. Red mallee burl with an African blackwood pedestal. My first functional pedestal. 5" x 10" AO finish but I have not buffed it yet.

NICE! The pedestal has great proportions (in my opinion). It creates a nice goblet effect and appears much more integral than some pedestals.

Toney,
This is, I believe, is your best to date. Form, Color, and Finish are excellent. I really like the way the pedestal really works with the Hollow Form. Simply wonderful.

Normally I don't like thick pedestals but I think this really works well. Great job on everything.

If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.

Definitely a great piece of work. The pedestal is great, and it feels more natural to me than some of the other pencil-thin pedestals I've seen. The color in that burl and the NE is amazing. Beautiful!
