Great work David, this piece looks great. Your steeker upper and your holder upper are superb.

[Baxter Smith]

Great looking piece!

[Robert McGowen]

Very delicate looking, David. Extremely nice job.

[Steve Schlumpf]

This is nice! Really like the pedestal - it's very delicate! Very good detail work on both pedestal and finial.

Just a personal observation (opinion), but I feel the onion of a finial should be slightly smaller than the onion/bulb on the pedestal. When a finial is larger, it tends to make the piece slightly top-heavy. As mentioned, that's just an opinion.

Very nice wood combination and finish. I keep coming back to the pedestal... nice design - especially the small foot.

Very nice work David!

Thanks to everyone for commenting.

I think I'll stick with the day job for a while. I'm definitely better at that than I am at turning.

Thank you, Steve. I agree with you about the onion on the finial. Keith Burns made a similar comment on the WoodturnersAmerica site. I agree with you both, but alas, I'm too lazy to turn another. I very much appreciate the feedback... I find critical comments to be the most helpful in advancing my turning.

David, you keep on cranking out the winners! This is really really nice and makes me want to order some Mallee to copy this form! Great job, as usual.

[Cindy Navarro]

That is a very beautiful piece.

[William Hutchinson]

That is a spectacular piece that you've created. It's amazing that from an ugly lump of wood this jewel emerged with your skilled hand. Well done.

SPECTACULAR..Gorgeous delicate just wonderful

[Jeff Nicol]

David, I have been so busy with the other things I do that I have had little time to get on the lathe and really so some fancy work! Between you, John, and many others I feel like I have abandoned my passion for turning! I do have some bigger BL walnut bowls to post later today, but the are pretty boring compared to these wonderful works you have been turning out!

Thanks for sharing,

Jeff

[Mike Davis NC]

wow!

[Matt Ranum]

Is it just me or does this "style" of turning just exude class and elegance?

Nice job!
