Ken Hill made a very generous offering that went viral late in December, http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthre...ht=burl-o-rama .
I was lucky enough to get in on this, and here is the piece I made.
oakburl_w_Finial_lower perspective.jpgoakburl_wo_Finial.jpgoakburl_bottom detail.jpg
The vessel is 5 1/2" wide, 3.5" tall, and overall perhaps 8" tall to tip of finial. Added some lapis inlay material and a walnut finial, along with some pyro on the collar ring and at the base. Antique Oil finish.
Comments and critiques welcome. As usual for me...my own critique is that a little lighter finial would be in order when I look at pics...though close up it seems ok. Go figure!
Thanks again Ken!!
