    Tim, that is a sweet looking form! And, the mesquite is perfect for it, too. I just did several sketches of some planned turnings and hope to dig into Kathy's mesquite in just a few days. Hope I can do as well with it!

    That is some cool stuff Tim!! My only C is that I'd ease the mouth a bit...not much...but roll it more. The finish is great!! Many cudo's!!

    Looks great Tim! Looking forward to your next one!
    How'd you like turning the mesquite?

    Good looking form! I've turned Mesquite a few times now and each time it is a joy to work with! Very nice job on proportions on this one! Looking forward to seeing some bigger versions!
