Mark,
Whenever a new turner needs examples of good form whether its an NE or in this case a vase, you, Keith Burns and Travis Stinson are 3 of the first turners pieces I recommend.
Great form...I love the gentle curve through the neck into the mouth of the vase.....great finish and gorgeous wood.
Nicely done! Thanks for posting.

Thanks for the comments. Pieces of wood like this are one of the main things that keeps me coming back for more at the lathe. I don't think it would matter what shape or form was turned with this piece, the God-placed beauty of the wood would stand head and shoulders above it as it does here.
