    Very nice John! That mesquite has some great color and I think the base works with it.

    Beautiful John...base really adds lift, although the form doesn't need it... all works!

    John, very nice piece. Could you explain how the bowl is attached to the base triangle?

    John, I really do like this piece. I have made a few tea light holders that look very much like your base. Never would have thought of combining the two of them. Great effect.
