    Very nice! I like the sharp edge of the bowl repeated in the top knob. The myrtle is great, and being large, I like that it has only subtle contrast with the elm. Hope you get your connection problems sorted out, would like to see more of your work.

    That's a neat looking piece, Allan. I like the crisp edge you chose for the main form... It's a nice change from the norm. I hope you get your computer woes sorted out so you can share more.

    Allan, I really like the form and the wood selection. I look at your piece and something comes to mind. Ponder this: another elm bowl like this with a dyed burgandy myrtle lid. The contrast might be very striking.

    Great work Allan. I like the shape. It reminds me of a UFO. Very nice.
