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.
