    Not only your work being top shelf, but that color just blows me away. Great job man.

    I think this equates nicely to wood turning as well . . . . .

    Wow Joe!! My only wish is that it was bigger! Form and color are super, but the finish will stand up under a microscope!

    Awesome Joe! If you hadn't given the size I would have sworn it was 3X that big.

    Beautiful color and finish, Joe! I'm kind of hung up on ridiculously small bottoms right now, so that's the only thing I would consider changing... I think the foot size you've chosen makes a lot more sense than some of the things I've turned in the last month or so.

    Yea, I've been through that phase. After having several pieces damaged from falling over, I changed my ways.

    Thanks for all the feedback.

    What's not to like? Other than not having a rediculously small foot?

    Thanks. I think the Chinese tried the small feet thing with their concubines.

    So a newbie question - how did you hold that while you were finishing it?

    Beautiful piece Joe. What did you use as a finish? It's a great look.
