This is from a piece of mesquite John Hart left me when he graced my shop with his presence awhile back. It was hollowed with the new Carter Hollow Roller system of course. Mesquite is my favorite wood, it cuts great, it's stable, finishes well and always has so much to offer in it's grain patterns. The finial is african blackwood. It measures 4-1/2" dia. x 10-1/2" tall. Finished with my 10 minute finish. I think the title fits this one.

That should bring a smile to anyone's face! Very nice. I may look into mesquite someday...the wood looks so happy.

Classic Keith Burns!! Beautiful piece, Keith. Love the collar and the embellished tip on the finial. One nit - Hart needs to brush his teeth. That bark brown look makes for a wierd looking smile!

Yup you got it, I bet he is smiling just like that since he can stay home and do nothing but turn for 4 days! Great looking piece, love the finial!

Beautiful work Keith! Great form and I really like all the little extras you put in with the finial/lid! Very nice work!
I've only turned Mesquite a couple of times but it is a pleasure to turn and I love how the wood plays with the light!

A really nice piece, Keith. I'm with John, Hart really needs to take better care of his teeth
Member
They don't get any nicer than that! I sure like the contrasting pieces in the finial.

This a nice looking form, Keith, and the finial details are a great touch. You'll have to check this piece next week and see if it's still smiling once John goes back to work.

Aw Jeez Mr. Burns!!!......Another winner for sure. Everything about this piece is
"dead-on", nice form, nice wood and all topped-off with a Grumpy finial and a
happy "smiley" face with dark teeth!!
